Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Meetup a Success

February 14, 2007 by Ben Yoskovitz

A couple weeks ago I announced the first ever Montreal Technology Entrepreneur Breakfast Meetup, spurred on by Julien Smith, Hugh McGuire and others. It was easy to do and I had no real expectations on turn out.

Well, people came. 30 or so people showed up and it was amazing. We took over half the restaurant and everyone was surprised to see so many other people.

And there are more people in Montreal doing cool, secret startups than you know.

I wish I had pictures, but I’m possibly the worst photographer ever. We’ll make a better effort next time.

Round II of the Meetup is scheduled for March 13, 2007 – 8:00am – 10:00am. Please sign-up.

I hope more people will come, spurred by the success of the first gathering. I’d also like everyone who was there to contact me via email – I got most of your cards but not everyone had one, and I don’t have everyone’s contact information. I’d like to list everyone and stay in touch. And if you blog about it, let me know. Carl Mercier might be the first…

And thank you for showing up early in the morning, talking tech, entrepreneurship, business and more.
