Startups - Go to BaseCamp to create an Investor Deck, understand investor terms, and learn how to protect you and your investors.
At The Summit, find resources such as business strategy, sales assistance, mentoring, CFO assistance, and potential seed capital
Company Builders and Service Providers - Find new and interesting startups to be part of. Find ground floor opportunities. Be part of helping at BaseCamp, or just come to see the finished opportunities when they are presented at The Summit
Investors - Start tracking early stage companies, or get in on the ground floor of Western Canada’s next generation of startups
Why Do It:
As a startup you are presented with a cost effective means of getting assistance in your earliest and most formative days, plus develop an investor ready company under the supervision of real angel investors (consultants are not part of the BaseCamp team)
