Hi Heri,

Yet again a great initiative. Other than a handful of Montreal based Early Stage VC firms such as iNovia Capital (www.inoviacapital.com), ID Capital (www.idcapital.ca), Brightspark (www.brightspark.com) and Montreal Startups; I thinks its good to know about the 4 société de valorisation were created in partnership with Quebec’s leading universities (MSBiV, Univalor, Sovar & Valeo). As an example MSBiV basically invest a few hundred thousand dollars in promising projects ready for commercialization based on IP coming out of McGill University, Université de sherbrooke and Bishop’s University – so the entrepreneur can come from anywhere but the IP must come from a university or one of its affiliated research institutions.

Best, Chris

Hey,

I’m a serial operator. On my 4th venture-backed startup now. Sold the last one for > 10x the capital invested in it. I am always looking to hear about new startups and will help out with expertise and contacts whenever I can. I am highly interested in building a thriving, successful startup community in Montreal.

hi guys,

thanks for all the comments.

btw, even if it’s obivous and if i already know you, it makes sense to include your name (just in case)

@sylvain and robert: everyone has their point of view, but i would say a marketing strategy is not where you start. it’s an essential part of the plan though
