Ready to scale: Meet the first Velocity cohort
We’re ending the summer on a high note - launching the inaugural cohort of the Alberta Catalyzer Velocity stream.
In the Velocity stream, founders will work closely with the Alberta Catalyzer coaches to establish a go-to-market strategy, polish their pitch, get investment readiness basics, and work towards qualifying for scaleup accelerators.
Velocity is the only stream delivered in-person with cohorts running in Northern and Southern Alberta.
On October 18 & 19, meet and celebrate Alberta’s up-and-coming tech startups from Northern and Southern Alberta at the first Alberta Catalyzer Velocity Showcase!
