Today, I’m thrilled to speak with another Boast partner and an exciting innovator in Atlantic Canada, Matt Cooper of Volta, a Halifax, Nova Scotia-based startup community.

At Volta, Matt leads an amazing team of professionals dedicated to helping founders and their teams drastically improve the odds of building a high growth startup in Atlantic Canada. One important thing to note about Volta is that they describe themselves as a place of mentorship and community; but not an accelerator. That’s because their focus is on quality and quantity, and not necessarily speed. 

I’ll leave it to Matt to get into the nitty gritty, and go deeper into what separates Volta from accelerators in this space, and the great work his team is doing today to boost Atlantic Canada’s tech ecosystem.
