Good Morning All - I’m thrilled to introduce this years C100 2024 #C100Growth and #C100Fellows cohorts! These companies, executives, and founders represent the next wave of Canadian tech opportunity, each poised to make a significant impact in their respective industries. This year we had an incredible applicant pool of hundreds to select from and were blessed to make tough incredible selections. The 12 companies joining our Growth Program exemplify the deep quality of Canadian tech and the incredible repeat innovation that Canada has to offer, with more than half of the leaders being serial entrepreneurs. The cohort comprises pioneers in B2B SaaS, fintech, health tech, cleantech, and AI. This years 26 early-stage companies showcase Canadian ingenuity, technological advancement, and a commitment to social impact - it's also the largest cohort ever – and is characterized by its diversity, spanning B2B SaaS, deep tech, health tech, fintech, legal tech, and more. Congratulations to all and welcome to the C100 family! #CdnTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship

🤔 How could we enhance customer experience, gain more customers and retain customer loyalty using the latest opportunities and development created by artificial intelligence? This was the question we tackle in our latest event: Pie & AI - Improving Customer Service with AI co-organised together with DeepLearning.AI and Google.
