Montreal StartupDrinks July, co-edition with Toronto

It’s the end of the month, and the monthly meetup for Montreal tech entrepreneurs is planned tomorrow wed 28th October, as you might have read on the Flow Ventures blog.

The event gathers Montreal entrepreneurs, developers and any Montrealer interested in startups. It’s been running for more than a year, and gathers every last wednesday of the month from 40 to 70 entrepreneurs. It’s a great (free) way to mingle and get to know what others are working on.
