This gathering of Canada’s nation builders including @KeshiaChante, CEO of MaRS @YungWu, @FedDevOntario Minister @FilomenaTassi and more than 300 leaders from across North America is the first large in person gathering @NACOCanada has hosted in three years.

🤝 Thank you to @MaRSDD for your collaboration with our team.

We’re grateful to NACO’s national membership of angel networks, venture funds, incubators and accelerators for nominating so many inspiring founders from across the nation.

Together we aspire to propel Canada’s entrepreneurs to new heights with the help of our network that has invested $1.38 billion into 2000 companies.

🇨🇦 By connecting the world’s most prominent angel and venture investors with Canada’s top entrepreneurs, we aim to add velocity to the growth journey of the next generation of trailblazers.
