New Ventures BC recently launched a Sales Accelerator Pilot Program. We searched across BC for tech startups wanting to focus on sales, marketing, and building a scalable revenue model. Our first program cohort is composed of quite the impressive group of startups. Not only have these startups proven their business model in a global pandemic, they are tackling problems with tech innovation.
