Unique investor mentorship opportunity provides learning and tools for health and life sciences companies September 13, 2019 (EDMONTON, ALBERTA) – Valhalla Private Capital Inc. (“Valhalla”) and Health City are pleased to announce that they have entered a formal collaboration to provide opportunities for health and life sciences companies. Recognizing that generating investment capital is a crucial lifeline for a company to thrive, Health City and Valhalla have partnered to deliver investor mentorship to health and life sciences companies with health sector-specific experts. The closed-door sessions will be followed by a public forum where the mentors will share their observations and investment expertise. The goal of the public forum is to educate entrepreneurs and investors looking to thrive in the new health economy. “Providing innovators with opportunities like this gives them the tools they need for investment attraction, allowing for scale and spread of their solutions to global markets,” stated Antonio Bruni, Health City Manager of Business Development. “Health City’s partnership with Valhalla is another example of how we’re leveraging our region’s networks to support our innovators.” “Our goal is to bring individual investors from major life sciences hubs across North America to meet with and advise Alberta companies to help them reach new heights and expand internationally,” added Ryan Heit, Co-Founder, Valhalla Capital Inc. “Our investors are there to help each company grow in some unique capacity, whether it’s looking for potential investment, introducing them to other investors or expertise in their network or simply providing feedback to their pitch or strategy.” Investment mentorship will be delivered in personalized, 90-minute sessions to each participating company beginning October 24, with a public event held on October 25th at the Edmonton Convention Centre. This event will be the first of many opportunities in this collaboration to enhance the investor-readiness of our region’s life sciences and health sector companies. More details about this opportunity are coming soon. About Valhalla Private Capital Inc.
