In an effort to position itself as about more than just startups, Montreal’s Startupfest is launching five additional “Premium Fests,” catered towards angel investors, accelerators, fund investors, founders trying to scale and hackers.

The new Premium Fests will be presented by BDC Capital. According to Startupfest, they were “created for and by the unique communities who attend Startupfest. The same vibe, with tailored content in an intimate, focused setting. Premium Fests take the startup experience to the next level.”

Startupfest takes place July 13-16.

In an email, founder Phil Telio called the events “unique, one-day events packed with cutting-edge content, out-of-the-boardroom networking and lively workshops, all designed by and for the diverse audiences in the startup landscape.”
