The 2nd annual GROW Conference is upon us again this year. I had a great time last year meeting some amazing and talent VCs, Entrepreneurs, and Techies. This year, a new addition to the Conference is the competition for Canadian startups to Launch @ GROW. 15 Finalists were selected to be at Launch night, and 4 companies will be picked to demo on stage at the GROW Conference. Exciting times for Canadian startups!
Over the next few days, I’ll be interviewing some Canadian Startups, event Organizers and Presenters. I will be focussing on the experience as Canadians working in Canada based Startups or working in the Tech or VC business in Silicon Valley or New York.
