StartupCamp Toronto took place last night and the room was packed. For the main event we had somewhere in the area of 90 people, and we think about 40 showed up for the after party. It was more than we expected, but it all worked out well.
Thanks to everyone who came out, especially those who traveled from Montreal and Ottawa. Most of all, thank you to the startups who pitched as well as those who demoed afterwards downstairs. The feedback from the demo pods was surprisingly good.
A Big Thank You
Once again, a thank you to our sponsors. Without them, this would have been impossible.
For a full recap of the evening, Anthony Carbone has the most thorough post yet and Leila has some pictures.
This is now all in the past however, and we are moving on! We have some great announcements to make.
StartupCamp Montreal is set for January 23rd and will be at the SAT, which looks like an incredible venue. Heri scooped me on the story, which I plan to make him pay dearly for. A wiki should be up and running for the event soon and we are planning on forming a contingent from Toronto to make the trip. We had two Montreal startups at StartupCamp Toronto, so we’d love to see a few Toronto startups make the roll call in Montreal.
StartupCamp Waterloo 2 is planned for February 26th, 6-9pm at the Accelerator Centre. We will post more details on these events when we have them.
More StartupCamps are coming. We are working on instigating more and have 2 others in the early planning stages. We are feeling pretty excited about StartupCamp and the startup energy in general across Canada. Each city is developing a unique flavor and niche. Instead of having one dominant city in Canada, we are seeing a handful of cities all buzzing with startup energy and working together while building up their own strengths individually.
Who knows what’s in store, all I know is that I have a good feeling about it.
Thank you for another wonderful event Jevon! Please keep us all updated and connected. Thanks!

I wish the GigPark crew could have been there Jevon and Jonas. It sounds like an absolutely brilliant event. Next time we’ll time our trips to San Fran a little better ;).

I’m really glad I got the chance to attend this and put some faces to the whole startup scene. I’ll totally be at the Waterloo startup since it’s basically on my doorstep. Thanks for doing this!
