Many deep tech products are still in their conceptual and prototypical phase\, and are still years away from viable commercialization. And because they comprise layers of hitherto unseen algorithms and mechanics\, investors often find it difficult to fund such nascent companies\, as they do not have the expertise and knowledge to analyze the potential value of such a technology — especially when there is lack of similar precedent products or competitors to compare to. \nTEC Edmonton and FormulateIP in collaboration with ChapterAI are organizing a panel discussion on opportunities in raising investment for deep technology growth companies. We’ll start with a panel discussion during which the experts will talk about the fundraising process (Pre Series A/Series A and further rounds) and what it takes to successfully raise funding\, followed by Q&A.

Did we mention costumes and candy\, too?! If you’re part of the Tech Community: Come meet your counterparts in our vibrant tech community. Look for opportunites to collaborate and possibly recruit new members or employees. \nWho is this for?\nAnyone who is already a part of the Edmonton tech community\, is interested in getting involved\, or is just curious. From ages 5-95. \nNew to tech:\nFor kids\, parents\, or adult learners. We’re bringing you tons of tech-related activities from CLC and some of our friends in the community. Learn to write code\, program a human\, build a piano out of bananas\, and more. This is a great way to learn what “code” or “robotics” or “engineering” even mean\, without having to commit for a full workshop. Stay for an hour or five: it’s all good! \nAlready a part of the tech community:\nEver wondered what it would be like to volunteer for CLC\, a local meetup\, or a student group? Hey\, us too! Come out to talk one-on-one with the volunteers themselves about what the commitment is like\, what you need to know\, and what you get out of it. An easy way to get all the details before signing up. \nPart of a group already\, but looking to collaborate: \nWe’ve got your back. You’re welcome to come and network to find your next partner to get your amazing ideas off the ground. \nHey you! Have you joined the Canada Learning Code mailing list?
