How it works
UNLOCK THE CAPITAL
Powered by Accelerate Okanagan, the Okanagan Angel Summit is an 8-week program designed to educate startup companies from across Canada and investors based in the Okanagan.
Through the 8-week program, Accelerate Okanagan helps companies learn about the capital raising process and how to effectively build relationships with prospective investors. Investors will receive training to actively learn how to vet companies, provide feedback, and perform due diligence in helping to support early-stage companies.
