Startup TNT Agri-Food Summit Spring 2025

Investment Summit Finale: May 1, 2025

Startup TNT is dedicated to improving access to capital for early-stage tech companies. We do this by increasing the pool of professional early-stage investors, educating entrepreneurs on fundraising best practices, and facilitating lasting relationships between both parties.

Startup TNT Investment Summits help raise capital for startups and make it easier for local investors, both seasoned and new, to angel investing.

Eligibility: Companies must be headquartered or have management presence in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario or Yukon.

How it Works: $150K+ invested into each Winner + $25K-$150K side deals into additional companies.

Many angels decide to invest more than their original $5k cheque; therefore, the Winner will likely raise $200k - $500k+ in total. In 2024, our 12 Summit Winners received an average of $210K.

Additional side deals negotiated at the Sector Summit Finale with non-winners range from $25k to $350k.

All deals are syndicated by Startup TNT (through an LP), resulting in a single line on your cap table and easy investor relations (we herd your cats).
