On top of sponsoring and hosting some meetups, I am definitely open to making Bolidea more accessible to help turn more great ideas into live products. Do you think that Montreal needs a program similar to TechStars or YCombinator? Martin-Luc Heri:

TheCodeFactory (www.thecodefactory.ca) is a Canadian made experiment in incubation that seems to be heading in the right direction. Light weight, leveraging the input of passionate volunteers to get stuff done and designed to be self sustaining. The incubator has evolved quite a bit over the past year based on usage and continues to make progress. Couple an active space with our organic content like TeamCamp (which has spawned two teams, many thanks to Chris Schmitt) and most of the ingredients are there. We are actively looking for a micro-angel (low end 5 digit figure) to fund/mentor one of the team camp offspring and prototype the model. Any volunteers? Ian Hi Heri, good post.
