Canada’s Startup Camp gets rolling
Posted by austin under Entrepreneurs, Startup Resources
I met with Rob Hyndman last week in Toronto - where we had a great discussion about the state of the Canadian startup industry. Rob is one of the organizers of Canada’s Mesh Conference and an advisor & lawyer for technology startups.
By the end of the day, we had a conversation going with Stuart McDonald, founder of Expedia.ca and also a Mesh co-founder, and David Crow - who is becoming infamous for his instigator role in the Toronto Barcamp & Democamp.
We’ve decided to replicate the recent Startup Camp with our own Canadian flavor. I’m really happy to be involved with this great project.
Rob has the announcement up and has setup a wiki where we are encouraging people to start to list their ideas, questions or topics that you feel the conference should address.
Despite getting back into the startup game myself, I’ve started to advise and mentor a few teams of Canadian entrepreneurs. This will be a great venue to bring together the startup community so we can begin to leverage the great explosion of activity occuring in Canada.

In the meantime, I wanted to share something you may have seen on the FreshBooks blog: “One of my favourite takeaways from the Web 2.0 Summit was Marissa’s presentation about something she learned working at Google. She ran a survey and Google users told her they wanted 30 results in the Google search results page. She delivered thirty results in the results pages and then watched as users ran from Google faster than she could say, “What happened?” [...]
