Montreal Tech Watch

StartupDrinks, an informal meetup for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and anyone interested in launching new technology companies was scheduled last week. The last editions were back in august, in summer, and after a brief hiatus, we’re now bringing them back. It was a good suprise to see so many entrepreneurs showing up at the event, making connections, and using the opportunity to meet new partners. We did have an initial head count, but lost track, and from the used named tags, attendance was around 45. Thanks for everyone who came up to StartupDrinks!

The event was organized with FlowVentures, and also used for the first time TechEntreprise, which did a good job of acting as a central place for the event. Peter & Robin from Flow were regularly attending the summer StartupDrinks and came up this time with cool name tags; and also found out a great place for the event, with the 2nd floor at Reservoir reserved for the event.

There’s obviously room for improvement, and next time in January (as always the last wednesday of the month), there should be up to 60 people. For now, we’re thinking about bringing in companies or service providers who would be interested into sponsoring the event, meeting entrepreneurs, and which would get in return a placement both on-site and at TechEntreprise.

If you have ideas to improve the event, or if you have specific needs to solve as entrepreneurs, feel free to leave a comment below.
