Salmon Capital Holdings joins NexStream’s community of sponsors
Private equity firm Salmon Capital Holdings, LTD., (SCHL) has signed on as the newest official sponsor of Campbell River’s NexStream Tech Competition, announcing earlier this week that it will contribute CAD $100,000 to support the competition.
Dana Kammersgard, SCHL’s managing director and chief investment officer, is also a founding member of the Campbell River Area Angel Group (CRAAG).
“CRAAG and Salmon Capital Holdings were both founded to advance the Campbell River area’s profile among tech companies and investors, and to encourage innovative applications of technology among the region’s various industries, with a focus on sustainable and clean technology,” Kammersgard said. “The NexStream Tech Competition aligns with those goals by inviting innovators to help solve local industry challenges in areas such as aquaculture, natural resource management, cleantech and renewable energy, healthcare and food safety. Salmon Capital Holdings is proud to sponsor the NexStream Tech Competition and support its innovators.”
The NexStream Tech Competition came about through a partnership between the City of Campbell River Economic Development and CRAAG.
“As a founding member of CRAAG, Dana Kammersgard has been involved with the competition from its beginning. Now, we are delighted to be welcoming Salmon Capital Holdings as one of the competition’s major sponsors,” said Rose Klukas, the City’s economic development officer. “As an economic development officer, I often speak of the supportive, collaborative, and community-minded business network that we have here in Campbell River—one of the things that makes Campbell River an attractive place to live and work. The City and CRAAG appreciate the generosity of Salmon Capital Holdings and all of NexStream’s sponsors and community partners. Their support is helping to bolster innovation in sectors that directly benefit the regional economy.”
