“We are extremely excited by our first group of 5 startup companies selected after a national evaluation process earlier this year” says Andy Yang, Chief Innovation Hunter for Extreme Startups. We selected 5 very strong teams, and each have been executing on and exceeding their milestones. “We have strong representation from across Canada, with Startups who have been calling Toronto home for the past 3 months including teams from Edmonton and Ottawa” says Yang.
Extreme Startups is a mentor-focussed accelerator and has quickly assembled a roster of some of the top tech business mentors to be found anywhere. This, in conjunction with deep industry collaborations with some of the leading names in technology allows companies who are part of the Extreme Startups program to develop quickly.
