Startup TNT Investment Summit

The mission of Startup TNT is to have fun, make friends, and build companies. Our marquee event is the Startup TNT Investment Summit, where we will be investing $125,000 into a YEG startup.

The Summit is designed to build lasting relationships between entrepreneurs and investors in a fun environment while educating both groups about early stage investing.

25 investors have each put $5,000 into a HoldCo, spent 8 weeks working together to conduct due diligence on 26 local companies, and will be making their investment choice live at the Summit on 2.20.2020.

Come and support the incredible entrepreneurs building companies in Edmonton!

There will be panel talks, great pitches, a light lunch, a hearty dinner, free beer! and more fun than you've had all year.
