MONTREAL GAZETTE | ‘Tinder for fintech’: Holt Accelerator gets new crop of startup hopefuls
Montreal’s Holt Accelerator is getting ready to welcome its second crop of startup executives for a 12-week training program aimed at bolstering their management skills and putting their companies on a path to growth. A kickoff event takes place downtown Monday, featuring eight entrepreneurs from five countries pitching their stories to industry experts and investors.
Holt is one of a number of technology accelerators already active in Quebec, ranging from McGill University’s X-1 to FounderFuel, which has backed 89 companies since 2011. It is, however, the only business accelerator in Canada that’s focused exclusively on fintech, and areas such as cybersecurity, data privacy and credit scoring.
