Ottawa-based startups, you are getting a new accelerator program called Mercury Launch, and have until August 20, 2011 to be one of the first to apply.  According to their website companies are eligible for:

  • Up to $25,000 in seed funding
  • 3-4 months of intense programming
  • Office space
  • Access to a global network
