I read some interesting comments by some of the contributors on this site, that made mention of how cool it would be if we could all meet up somewhere. I decided to see who felt like putting themselves on the map... literally.

I've driven 6 hours to meet a potential partner face to face. I've flown across the continent to "ask" for an interview with a dream employer. If anyone out there is as passionate about meeting the dreamers of today and leaders of tomorrow, please feel free to say so.

Let me begin: I'm Andrew and I'm in Toronto (yes, Canadians take risks too)

At the very least, many of you will find yourselves in the same city as others on this site and to me that's about as good an excuse to have a 2am coffee as any I can think of.

I've got a bit of a selfish motivation in that I'm looking for partner #3 and I think face-to-face is the best way to see how well the ideas flow and personalities mesh (and if we're lucky, clash!).



Canadians take risks? Who knew!? (My personal porfolio, %90 of it is companies located in Vancouver and listed in TSX or TSX-V.) Canada is the premier public fundraising country in the world, I believe. (The US stifles innovation with onerous SEC regulation... so Canada, which has smaller population, is the place to do your reverse merger, or buy shelf companies, etc.)


I had intended to be fecicious but thank you for pointing out some oft-overlooked truths.


I know, just trying to spread the word...


I'm in London, Ontario. I'd be interested to hear what you're up to. Drop me a line: mdnaish at Google mail.


Hi there, this is a "me too"; I'm in Waterloo, ON just between you guys. While I think of some contribution here I can be contacted at startup.canada at gmail


Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
