We are excited to be collaborating with the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) to launch Startup Huddle Halifax — the first of its kind here in the Province. Startup Huddle is a global program created by the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN). It provides a safe and supportive environment where founders present their ventures, share their biggest challenges, and receive constructive feedback from peers, mentors, investors, and community members. It’s not a pitch competition — it’s about authentic stories, real challenges, and collective problem-solving. Startup Huddle is now active in cities around the world, connecting entrepreneurs to networks of support and collaboration.
