“These founders entered the Traction & Growth cohort with ambition and momentum, and they
leave with greater clarity, stronger execution, and a clear focus on what’s next,” comments Elaine
McKinnon, Interim CEO, Propel. “We’re proud to support this group and excited to continue
following their growth.”

“Propel helped bring real discipline to how I was building Weevva. The coaching pushed me to slow
down, validate my assumptions, and stay focused on the real problems Weevva’s customers are
trying to solve, rather than trying to be everything at once. That clarity helped me double down on
the features that truly matter. I am really looking forward to this next phase of Weevva and grateful
for everything I am taking away from the Propel experience,” comments Matt Creese, Founder and
CEO, Weevva.

Through a series of cohorts throughout the year, Propel offers tailored programming and coaching
for pre-revenue and revenue generating companies. Last year the program celebrated its 20 th year
of supporting startups and playing a lead role in fostering the tech ecosystem in Atlantic Canada.
