Come celebrate the graduation of our 11th Pre-Accelerator Cohort and hear first hand how these talented entrepreneurs ignited their passion from a single idea to a viable tech startup!

The capabilities of technology have allowed many industries to flourish simply because entrepreneurs took a chance on their ideas and worked towards evolving it into something bigger than themselves.

10 weeks ago, a group of tech startup founders came together with a common goal, to take their ideas for a startup and run with them, working throughout the weeks on solidifying their concepts, and building a foundation for success. These founders have worked tirelessly to carve a path of possibilities from their singular idea to exemplify the true potential it has.

Please join us to show your support and cheer on the founders in cohort 11 as they pitch their businesses in front of a panel of judges, peers, family, friends and you!

Take part in shaping the future of Ottawa’s brightest new entrepreneurs by casting your vote. Your vote will help a founder take home the title of Crowd Favourite. Plus, they’ll win an extra six months of one-on-one mentorship from our leading mentors.

You don’t want to miss this event, as an exciting treat, those that attend will be the first to hear a special announcement!

Could your idea be the next big thing? We sure think so! But don’t take our word for it, why not see for yourself. All it takes is one idea, to change everything as we know it!

Sign up today, we promise you will leave inspired to take your passions to the next level!

About the IO Pre-Accelerator and cohort 11

The IO Pre-Accelerator is a 10-week boot camp designed to help Ottawa’s entrepreneurs at the early stages of building a tech or tech-enabled startup to validate their ideas and solidify their business foundations.

Cohort 11 started 10 weeks ago when 16 innovative Ottawa startups from the Ottawa-Gatineau area were selected after a rigorous evaluation process. This cohort is comprised of entrepreneurs whose businesses range from education to artificial intelligence. Check out some of our past cohorts as well.
