Get Ready. Get Excited.

We're Summit Bound.

The 2023 OKGN Angel Summit is underway. Follow along as we find out who takes homes the $225k investment.

How it works

The OKGN Angel Summit is an elevated pitch program that is designed for entrepreneurs and investors from all walks of life. Powered by Accelerate Okanagan, this 10-week program is not just about choosing a who will receive the big investment, it’s about training entrepreneurs and investors in the capital-raising process, making it easier to invest and get investment.

Through a guided process, participating companies will learn about the capital raising process and how to effectively build relationships with prospective investors.

Investors will receive training around the investment and due-diligence process, providing new investors with a chance to actively learn how to vet companies, provide feedback, and help to support early-stage companies.

At the end of the program, 6 finalists will pitch to an audience of community members. During this finale, the investors will decide which company receives an investment of up to $250,000.

Summit Reviews

As a startup in the technology sector, one of the hardest parts of scaling the business is fundraising. The amount of time it takes to schedule, meet with investors, go through due diligence, etc. The OKGN Angel Summit allowed 24 companies to pitch in front of 30+ investors all at one time! Now we have new relationships being formed with investors we likely would never have met.

The Angel Summit is a rare opportunity to look under the hood when it comes to raising external funding for a start-up venture. We made great connections to local investors, as well as other entrepreneurs and have a much better sense of the road in front of us now as we move towards our goals.
