Why raise capital with Startup TNT?

We are approachable

  • Many of our investors are writing their first Angel check with Startup TNT

  • We work together with the top companies to structure a deal that makes sense for all parties

We do a LOT of deals

  • We fund around 10% of the deals we screen, an order of magnitude higher success rate for entrepreneurs than most VC funds

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.
