Grab your lunch and join us to support local startups as they graduate from the IO Pre-Accelerator!

Cheer on our incredible startup founders as they pitch their businesses in front of a panel of judges, their peers, the startup community, friends, family, and you! Take part in shaping the future and listen to Ottawa’s brightest new entrepreneurs as they pitch their businesses to win it all. The best part? You get to vote on the winner!

Two founders will take home the titles of Best Pitch and Crowd Favourite and will earn six months of free office space at the IO Accelerator, as well as one-on-one mentorship from leading mentors.

Cohort 7 started 10 weeks ago when 19 innovative Ottawa startups from the Ottawa-Gatineau area were selected for the Pre-Accelerator Program after a rigorous selection process. This cohort is comprised of entrepreneurs whose businesses range from B2B to B2C and from SaaS to e-marketplace.

The IO Pre-Accelerator is designed to validate founders’ ideas and help them to build their business on a solid foundation. Weekly workshops include learning how to develop the minimal viable product (MVP), determine customer segments, discover funding streams, and build brand value.

All registrants will receive an email with a link to join the Zoom meeting.

The IO Pre-Accelerator is generously sponsored by Logan Katz and MDK Business Law. Invest Ottawa extends sincere thanks to these outstanding organizations for their consistent support of our entrepreneurial community.
