Meet the Year One Labs Team in Waterloo, Toronto and Ottawa

September 19, 2010 by Ben Yoskovitz

As part of our effort to find and recruit the best entrepreneurs into Year One Labs, the four partners are doing “Office Hours” in Waterloo, Toronto and Ottawa. More details here.

Year One Labs is based in Montreal, and entrepreneurs (companies) that get into the Lab will need to be in Montreal (for ~12 months.) But we’re not looking exclusively in Montreal. In fact, we’ve been getting interest from all over the place. It is easier to recruit entrepreneurs closer to home, and we’ve already met some very interesting people in Waterloo, Toronto and Ottawa. So that’s why we’re going there in-person to hang out.

“Office Hours” means all four partners (myself, Alistair Croll, Ian Rae and Raymond Luk) will be hanging out for a few hours to meet and talk to as many entrepreneurs as possible. This is exclusively for entrepreneurs. It’s extremely casual. There will most probably be beer.

Here’s the schedule:

  • Waterloo – Tuesday September 28th 1:00PM – 3:30PM (Velocity Centre – U Waterloo) — RSVP
  • Toronto – Tuesday September 28th 5:30PM – 8:00PM (Jet Cooper offices – 20 Maud Street) — RSVP
  • Ottawa – Wednesday September 29th 4:00PM – 6:00PM (Code Factory – 246 Queen Street – 2nd floor) — RSVP

Please RSVP with the links above so we can estimate how many people are coming.
