A Different Approach to Raising Capital
At Startup TNT, we understand that accessing capital is the biggest hurdle for startups. That's why we organize 30+ Angel Syndicates in Western Canada per year, to invest in both new and existing startups. We strongly believe that local startups stand to benefit from raising capital from local investors. We also believe that building companies and investing in startups is more enjoyable when done as a team, with friends. And we can confidently say that we have the most fun doing it.
