MSP Startups Participate In Collision From Home

Last year, Forge North partners attended Collision in Toronto alongside 8 incredible startups from our region. This year, we’ve decided to go virtual and will be attending Collision from Home with a new group of startups!

A total of 30,000 attendees will join Collision from Home to meet the most important people in their industry, share ideas, and make lifelong connections. Hosted by the team at Web Summit, Collision is working to build a custom platform and app to ensure the virtual experience will allow attendees to learn, connect, and build awareness for their work. The conference platform boasts an incredible lineup of keynotes, panels and workshops, while also unlocking a world of networking opportunities.

Three days. 100 hours of content. Thousands of valuable connections.

For startups, Collision has developed a startup program to shine a spotlight on early-stage startups with outstanding potential, connecting them with the world’s most influential investors, corporate representatives, and potential customers. Last year, participating startups raised over $5M in capital to help them scale. It is our hope that by attending Collision and other events we can continue to shine a light on our fastest-growing startups and bring additional capital to the region as we seek to double the number of MSP-based ventures that raise an early-stage round of funding each year by 2023.

This year, we are excited to announce the following 8 companies will be attending Collision as part of our MSP-based delegation:
