Not sure how easy it is to do mind you. With the creation of the Velocity residence I think that may help highlight that as an option.

(Though Malgosia & I witnessed the best possible effort when Greg had us speak an engineering class at UoT.) What Toronto/Canada needs is role models. God bless the Lor's, McDerment's, Boujnane's, Garrity's, Lai's which are inspiring the next wave. We need big successful outcomes to seem achievable (they are!) by having big successful outcomes to point to. Malgosia and I helped build a company in San Fran that sold for $61M after 14 months. Our conclusion, we can do that too! (Only bigger! hehe.) We should all do what we can to put a spotlight on the world changers we have in our midst.

So I imagine the media wants Start up stories bad, enough to keep some of these entrepreneurs on some sort of media circut.
