Round-Up of Canadian Soonicorns
We have had an unprecedented run of Canadian unicorns in the last 18 months. We all heard about these great organizations – they had been putting in the work for YEARS but were often under-celebrated until they finally got anointed with their Unicorn valuation, often due to foreign investment.
Are we going to wait another 5 years to acknowledge the next great wave of Canadian Unicorns that are already being built right here in Canada now? We say no!
SAAS NORTH is proud to round-up a select panel of ‘Soonicorns’ on the BetaKit Stage in 2021. You don’t need to wait to celebrate these Canadian Soonicorns – and you will remember that you saw them on stage at SAAS NORTH! Join them to learn about the strategic growth and scaling plans that are helping drive the trajectory of these soon-to-be-unicorns.
