Igniting Innovation: Canopy Community's Exciting Start to 2025
Jan 13, 2025
As we embark on a new year, Canopy is thrilled to announce an initiative that will simplify the way investors connect with promising startups in our community.
We're launching an exclusive directory for investors to access pitch decks from our community's visionary founders actively seeking Seed and Pre-Seed funding.
This platform not only showcases the brilliant ideas of our entrepreneurs but also provides invaluable insights from our demo night events. Investors can now review audience feedback, voting results, and questions posed during these dynamic presentations, offering a comprehensive view of each startup's potential.
If you are an investor you can access the directory HERE (using your Canopy Community login credentials)
