Emergence director, Martin Yuill, says that the incubator is partnering with NACO to help innovators and entrepreneurs across Atlantic Canada benefit from practical, hands-on learning, and to assist regional investors “turn good ideas into great businesses”.
Emergence director, Martin Yuill: “Angel investment plays a critical role in the life of startup ventures”.
“Angel investment is an important asset class for early-stage companies and plays a critical role in the life of most startup and scale-up ventures,” says Yuill.
“These workshops are designed to help local entrepreneurs develop the skills they need to raise private capital to support their growth, and investors increase their knowledge about structuring great deals.”
Yuill says that he believes that both elements are essential to expanding the Atlantic early-stage ecosystem.
