Great coverage from @TaprootYEG on our latest investment, @FairlyStaffing!

"Fairly has demonstrated real value, stickiness, and speed of uptake in Alberta. The bet here is that they can replicate that go-to-market motion in other geographies."

Congrats to @AretoLabs on their partnership with FIFPRO Asia/Oceania to protect players competing in the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup from online abuse. Well done to the entire team! https://t.co/hJ5nj1uRmi #ABtech #WomenInSport

The ratio of hygienists to #dentists has shifted from 3:1 to nearly 1:1. @FairlyStaffing built the platform to close that gap. We've seen what they've built in #Alberta, and excited to see them take it national. @BetaKit #AlbertaTech

8 years from UofC spinout to commercial launch. Calgary's @SyantraInc is bringing its blood-based breast cancer detection test to market.

A good reminder of what the long game in deep tech looks like.

@BetaKit's new Prairies Bureau is a milestone for #AlbertaTech. As Canada's leading #tech-focused publication, their dedicated coverage with Jesse Cole means more funding rounds noticed, more #founder stories told, more national visibility for what's being built here in Alberta.

[Accelerate Fund @AccelerateFund]

Exciting news from @WaitWell2! They just launched Waillo, an AI service layer that routes customers to the right person faster instead of automating away human interaction. Congrats team! https://t.co/KhlNFgWhnx #ABtech #AI

ICYMI: We sat down with Ontopical's Derrick Koenig and Clayton Feick about the strategic decision to expand leadership, navigating the path from partnership to #acquisition, and the reality of being acquired by a market leader.

Happy holidays to the #AlbertaTech community! To AB #founders - you've earned this rest. Here's to a strong 2026.

A year into Fund IV, and we're as optimistic as ever about what #Alberta founders are building.

[Accelerate Fund @AccelerateFund]

How do you navigate a solo founder journey to a strategic exit?

We dove in with Derick and Clayton of Ontopical (acquired by SOVRA) including expanding leadership, how partnership talks evolved into acquisition, and building in #YYC: https://t.co/igPzXW7Kth
