Altitude Accelerator’s latest “incubator cohort”

BRAMPTON — Altitude Accelerator has launched its newest incubator cohort. The program will run six months until Sept. 30.

The Canadian technology startup incubator says this is the 17th consecutive incubator class for Altitude.

Through an “invite-only” incubator program, Accelerator offers technology startup founders access to mentorship, expert-led workshops and peer support. The program’s education is focused on marketing and sales strategies to help companies build market traction and attract investment.

“Investors want quantitative evidence that there is market demand for a new product,” said Pam Banks, Altitude Accelerator executive director in a statement.

“Our incubator program is specifically structured to help founders demonstrate this demand to potential investors. We are thrilled to welcome the companies selected for Incubator 17 and are excited to help them during this stage of their startup trajectory.”

Incubator 17 includes startup companies from different industries including cleantech, sports, healthcare, education, supply chain, operations, and transportation. Companies include Digital Water Solutions, DocClik, Gametime Technologies, Subskryb, PathtoCareer, ZeMaas, BoardSpace, Carpollo, BallStreet, and Artintech.

“Altitude Accelerator consistently delivers high-quality startups to the investment community that have far-reaching impact,” said Andrew Opala, founder & managing partner, Preference Capital Inc., and Altitude board of directors chair in a statement.

“Since 2008 Altitude has helped startups raise over $575 million in funding, generate $421 million in revenue, and create over 2,000 jobs in Ontario. We look forward to Incubator 17’s pitch presentations in October.”
