We will be welcoming them to Canada soon. \nCanada is using its exceptional country brand to the fullest. \nWe pick great companies\, and Techstars Toronto has been on a roll. Several exits have been realized (including Inkblot Therapy (Green Shield Insurance)\, Doorr (Finastra)\, Flow (Khoros)\, Gini Health (Finvasia) and a few more will soon be announced. Moreover\, companies in the Techstars Toronto have exceeded $1 billion in combined value led by investments such as Quidax\, Korapay\, Balance\, Kitchenmate\, Cinchy\, Tread\, CarScanner\, TalentQL\, Artboard\, Fable\, Mayday\, Orbiseed\, Babbly\, LumiereVR\, Senso\, Mine’d\, Treepz and many more. \nTo learn more about the current classes’ traction ahead of Demo Day please check out this article and please book a meeting with the CEOs to discuss an investment (accredited investors only).
