Startup TNT is pausing operations in Manitoba
A message from our founders, Zack and Tim:
Startup TNT is at a crossroads in Manitoba. After over 2 years of having fun, making friends, and building companies every Thursday, and running 4 successful Investment Summits, we have raised $740,000 for 8 MB companies. TNT would love to become a permanent fixture of the Manitoba startup community – indeed, given this traction, this is our long-term goal.
However, as it stands, we currently do not have the local resources necessary to sustain our on-the-ground operations at this time.
So we are pausing our operations in Manitoba today. What does this mean for the community? In the short-term, tonight will be our final Happy Hour for the time being. We will not be running a MB stream for our Fall 2024 Investment Summit. Richard Tuck, a staple of the MB tech ecosystem and our MB lead, is wrapping up activities at Startup TNT. We want to thank Richard for the 13 months of hard work he put into building a thriving TNT community in Manitoba. He led what was, by all accounts, the most successful TNT Summit in Manitoba this past Spring.
But the door is open to re-engage Manitoba in the TNT community. We know that TNT can thrive here, and we want to work with you, the leaders on the ground, to help us to build a new plan for reviving TNT in Manitoba and making it stronger – and sustainable.
If you want to get involved and contribute ideas for the future of TNT in Manitoba, we would love to hear from you.
Zack and Tim
