Sun Startup Essentials Sponsors Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast

by Ben Yoskovitz

Tomorrow is the Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast. It’s at a new location (Boccacinos on McGill College). Click the link above for all the details. In the meantime, I have a great announcement…

Sun Startup Essentials is sponsoring the breakfast! That’s right, breakfast is free. But please be reasonable…we don’t need any abusing their goodwill.

I was approached by Michal and Sandra about the opportunity. This is their first sponsored event for the SSE Bloggin’ Across Canada Series. Sun will introduce the Startup Essentials Program at various technology, startup and investor events across the country, and will be blogging about the Canadian Startup Landscape, highlighting stories about startups on http://blogs.sun.com/startup/ - and cross-blogging with http://www.embarkonit.com/blogs and Startup North.

It’s last minute, but if you have a story to share, as a startup, or want to reach out to Sandra or Mic (Sandra will be at the event too), you can email them. Just click their names above for email addresses.

At breakfast tomorrow, Sandra will take 5 minutes or so to explain Sun’s program and what she’s doing across the country. She may have some promotional material as well. And then she’ll be talking to as many people as possible, and promoting your startup stories.

I want to thank Mic and Sandra as well as Sun for being so generous. We’ll see you tomorrow at 8am.

Awesome breakfast- met some people, had some coffee, overall a good time. These things are getting so big now that it's really hard to get to know everyone- I meet 10 people every time, but only really get to talk with 4 or so. Ah well, such is business

I've already been to a similar breakfast at Mcgill university. They surely know how to organize events. Wish I had been to the Tech Montreal Entrepeneur!

I'd be curious to hear if entrepreneurs feel like the investment bank fallout is a net gain, net loss, or neutral to them. Certainly, there's a lot of good talent suddenly for hire, but I would imagine that investors are scarce ?

Can't make it to Montreal, so hoping for followup comments.

BillE thats a great question. There is a ton of talent out there but no one to utilize it.

There sure are some very talented people back out in the job pool at the moment. I would not like to be having to brush-up on my interview techniques at this time as competition is going to be fierce for the jobs that are available.

Please use your real name or a handle that's not driven by trying to gain SEO / Google Juice from my blog. If you put in a "name" designed for SEO purposes, I will edit it. I support the DoFollow movement, but this is also a community, and comments are meant to inspire discussion, not gain link love. Thank you!
