CALGARY, Feb. 2 /CNW/ - Hatsize Corporation, a Calgary-based technology firm (http://www.hatsize.com/), was recently selected "Forum Favourite" for "Best Company - Information Technology" by the Canadian Financing Forum. The Vancouver forum, representing a group of over 70 top-tier venture capitalists from Canada and the United States, is now in its 13th year.
On the same day, the Golden Seeds Investment group selected Hatsize as one of only two companies chosen to present at the February Investment Forum in New York.
"This expression of investment interest on both the East and West coast, offers Hatsize the opportunity to gain even greater leverage in our rapidly accelerating market," said Hatsize CEO Sue Miller. "A Calgary-based company being recognized by some of North America's top venture capital firms is a strong statement that our Alberta business ranks with some of North America's best in the technology sector."
"This audience represented many billions of investment capital, and the market is much more active than last year," said Kathy Standeven of CanadaIT, the event's organizer. "It may not be a cash prize, but these Financing Forum awards are gold to companies prospecting for investment dollars in a competitive investment market."
