A Different Approach to Raising Capital

At Startup TNT, we understand that accessing capital is the biggest hurdle for startups. That's why we organize 30+ Angel Syndicates in Western Canada per year, to invest in both new and existing startups. We strongly believe that local startups stand to benefit from raising capital from local investors. We also believe that building companies and investing in startups is more enjoyable when done as a team, with friends. And we can confidently say that we have the most fun doing it.

Join us today!

Why raise capital with Startup TNT?

We are approachable

  • Many of our investors are writing their first Angel check with Startup TNT

  • We work to provide constructive feedback to all companies going through due diligence with us

  • We work together with the top companies to structure a deal that makes sense for all parties

We do a LOT of deals

  • We know what it takes to close a deal and we work directly with investors to get to “YES”

  • We fund around 10% of the deals we screen, an order of magnitude higher success rate for entrepreneurs than most VC funds

  • We syndicate many small cheques into a single investment so you have a clean cap table with the benefit of a broad investment network

We are a community

  • At our summits, entrepreneurs meet new investors, new business partners, and new employees

  • We have a network of business professionals to offer you advice, support, and mentorship whenever they can
