What makes this night so extra? We have a double header for you, Ottawa!

We are kicking the night off with the IO Pre-Accelerator Cohort II Pitch Finale. Come see a rapid fire pitch competition of Ottawa’s emerging tech entrepreneurs. After 10 weeks of working on their companies, side-by-side, they will battle for a chance to win one-on-one mentor hours with leading experts/specialists and six months free office space at Bayview Yards.

We are now accepting applications for next Pre-Accelerator cohort. Click here to learn more and apply.

The IO Pre-Accelerator Cohort II Pitch Finale would not be possible without the support of our sponsors: MDK Business Law and Logan Katz.

Following the IO Pre-Accelerator Cohort II Pitch Finale, we have the first Pitch-In Event for AccelerateOTT Pitchfest! A select number of companies will compete in the preliminary pitch round to win a chance to pitch in the finale at AccelerateOTT on June 11, 2019.

On June 11, 2019, finalists will compete for the $150,000 investment (commited by Panache Ventures) in front of a live audience, a panel of expert judges, investors and media at the seventh-annual AccelerateOTT entrepreneur conference at the National Arts Centre. Click here to learn more about AccelerateOTT and the Pitchfest.

Doors open at 5:00 PM with snacks and a cash bar waiting. Don’t miss this chance to network, celebrate and see the most up-and-coming companies in the national capital region!
