Last week’s Startup TNT Summit X Finale brought together six ambitious startups and 46 eager investors, all vying for the chance to secure over $150,000 in seed-stage funding.
The big winner? Calgary-based HazTrack, which took home the coveted $150K investment prize.
HazTrack is revolutionizing the industrial sector with its cutting-edge sensor technology. Its flagship product, HazTracker, delivers real-time data on tanks and pumps for oilfield production chemical companies, boosting operational efficiency and sustainability. With HazTracker, companies can streamline processes, address equipment issues faster, and embrace smarter operations.
The Summit wasn’t just a win for HazTrack. Another Calgary startup, BankBrain, turned heads with a side deal for its innovative business banking platform. Designed to consolidate accounts from multiple companies into a single, streamlined system, BankBrain eliminates the hassle of juggling numerous online banking systems and logins.
More details about this promising deal are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
Startup TNT’s tri-annual Investment Summits aren’t just about pitching—they’re about building community. The organization connects entrepreneurs with investors in a unique, team-based diligence process that pairs seasoned angel investors with newcomers. This collaborative approach not only streamlines seed-stage investing but also fosters valuable relationships within the startup ecosystem.
At each Summit, winners typically receive upwards of $100,000, with an additional $50,000 coming from TNT Capital, Startup TNT’s own venture fund. Annually, the organization channels between $400,000 and $1 million into local startups, fueling innovation and economic growth in communities across the region.
Startup TNT continues to be a driving force in supporting early-stage entrepreneurs, showcasing innovations from diverse industries and strengthening local startup ecosystems. With success stories like HazTrack and BankBrain, the latest Summit highlights the power of collaboration in sparking meaningful investment and growth.
