We had a BIG Night in Saskatchewan yesterday! We're incredibly honoured to receive the Community Impact award at TheChamberYXE SABEX Awards! The community is so core to what we do at TNT, and what we do at TNT would not be possible without the community rallying around these startups and not just cutting cheques, but providing mentorship, making intros, and much more. Saskatoon is on the rise thanks to this amazing community putting its full weight behind incredible founders, and we are so excited to be a part of it. Is that too long? Jesse Wiebe Mike Wolsfeld

Congratulations to the entire Wyvern team on this impressive achievement! 🚀 We're incredibly proud to have Wyvern in our portfolio and to support your journey as a global leader in Earth observation. The future of hyperspectral imagery is brighter than ever with your innovative approach, and we can't wait to see what’s next! 🌍 Accelerate Fund
Congrats to Edmonton’s Wyvern on your $6M USD financing round to support US and global expansion! The round was led by Squadra Ventures and AF III is proud to participate along with Uncork Capital, Y Combinator, The University of Alberta’s Innovation Fund (UAIF) and Brent Perrot. Wyvern’s first satellites in the Dragonette constellation are already in orbit, providing the highest-resolution hyperspectral imagery available on the market. Its next generation of satellites will capture even better data across a larger spectral range at higher resolutions. As demand for advanced Earth imaging grows across sectors like forestry, agriculture, energy, defense, and environmental monitoring, Wyvern is well-positioned to become a global leader in Earth observation. Congrats Christopher Robson, Kurtis Broda, Kristen Cote, Callie Lissinna and the entire Wyvern team! We’re excited to support your continued growth and expansion.
