It looks like the folks at Embrase are dedicated to create a strong startup scene around Montréal. While the first StartupCampMontreal is still fresh in our memories, they have now announced the second edition for Thursday May 15th at 6.00pm, at the SAT.

If you missed the first edition, here is a detailed report with pictures about StartupCampMontreal #1. The goal of the event was to gather entrepreneurs and investors, and get 5 early stage companies to pitch attendees about their business model.

Philipe Telio, from Embrase, has more about the first edition:

The first edition was held this past January 23rd, with the intent of gathering 50 or so startups interested in the business side of starting a company. The event clearly struck a cord with the startup community, because 180 people showed up (140 entrepreneurs, 30 VCs and industry experts, 5 students and 5 organizers), representing some 15 cities in Quebec, Ontario and parts of the US.

Registration is here.
