Vancouver Firms MyFO and Quandri Recognized by CIX Startup Awards

February 6, 2025 by Knowlton Thomas Leave a Comment

This year’s recipients of the CIX Startup Awards, a showcase of Canada’s rising stars selected by North American investors, have been revealed.

The CIX Selection Committee, comprising over 100 investors and experts, evaluated submissions based on six criteria: Business Model, Quality of Product and Service Offering, Innovation, Market Opportunity, Depth of Management, and D.E.I. of Leadership.

“It has been a challenging year for Canadian startups, so it was great to see such a strong lineup of companies,” stated Neha Kera, who serves as co-chair of the CIX Startup Awards. “Congratulations to the award recipients on their impressive accomplishments; I’m excited to see their presentations at CIX Summit in March.”

Award recipients will pitch in-person this year at the CIX Summit on March 26 at the Design Exchange—a Toronto event which attracts over 500 investors and entrepreneurs from across North America’s technology ecosystem.

“The competition was intense this year, and we applaud all of the incredible applicants from across Canada for their achievements,” stated Matthew Leibowitz, co-chair of the Awards. “This final group of companies represents the country’s most promising innovators, and we’re excited for them to showcase their companies at the CIX Summit in March.”
