In a unique partnership, Treefrog Accelerator and Open People Network (OPN) will bring together startups from all over the world. Treefrog has been a huge supporter of OPN since its early days! The official partnership is very exciting for both organizations since OPN has been part of the accelerator system since its inception. The partnerships will bring together many years of collaborative work between Treefrog Accelerator and OPN.
Jeffery Potvin, CEO and Founder, said, “We have been friends for many years and we are very excited to be building out a collaborative partnership with everyone in the Treefrog family! The new partnership brings a full year of collaboration and Support!”
Sean Stephens, CEO and Founder, said, “We have some lofty aspirations for the Treefrog Accelerator, including to exponentially drive and grow startups in our region, to connect and strengthen the regional business community through entrepreneur connections, and to call international attention to the thriving local tech ecosystem. In short: we are taking the bright light of York Region startups out from under a bushel so they can shine for the world.
We are excited to formalize our partnership with Open People Network and provide even further value to our program participants. Through this partnership, we’ll work to strengthen our startup ecosystem and unlock new opportunities for founders.”
