Twice a year, the C100 hand-selects a small group of what it feels are the most impressive Canadian startups for a program that builds a bridge between their home and, arguably, the most innovative technologically driven ecosystem on earth - Silicon Valley.

---------------------------------
Company Description: The Internet is becoming more and more social every year and countless new start-ups are appearing based on the assumption that if users share videos, photos, comments and chat they will be successful. At the same time cyberbullying is all over the news and for these companies to be successful they need to find the careful balance that makes the community flourish and not fade away. We work with some of the largest messenger apps, games, and social media sites and are showing month over month two digit growth. We took the old art of content moderation, converted it to a SaaS model and added context, reputation and more actions than just block everything. We are the backbone that powers today's new social web.
---------------------------------
"Silicon Valley has historically been known as the best place to build companies, disrupt technologies and scale rapidly. The C100 provides the selected Canadian startups exclusive access to its rich network of extremely successful Canadian Ex-pats who will ensure that the startups receive all of the necessary tools they need to build a world-class organization", said C100 in a blog post announcing the December 2015 cohort.
48 Hours in the Valley will be held December 8th & 9th in San Francisco at New Relic, and at Cooley LLP in Palo Alto.
