OKGN Angel Summit 2021 Finale

Join us for the third annual OKGN Angel Summit Finale and find out who will take the $145,000 investment! The Finale is the culmination of a 10-week program that seeks to train new angel investors and improve access to capital for growing businesses. On March 18, the remaining 6 participating companies will make their final pitches to 29 investors, seeking their chance at a $145K investment. Think Dragons’ Den meets American Idol! Speaking of Dragons’ Den... This is also your opportunity to hear from Arlene Dickinson, one of Canada’s most high-profile businesswomen. Best known for her role on CBC’s Dragons’ Den, Arlene will be taking the stage during the investor deliberations to reveal everything you need to know—and do—to start, run, and grow a great business. Investments and dragons aside, the OKGN Angel Summit Finale is all about celebrating our community and creating connections. As we won’t be able to gather in-person, we will be using Remo—a virtual networking platform—for this year's virtual venue. Audience members can move around, join friends at different tables, and chat one on one with other guests during the networking breaks that have been intentionally placed throughout the evening.
