Buddy Keep your Million :)

gary the snowman

Its that time of year again. The Annual "Buddy, Keep your Million" event takes place this Thursday @ the Marshes. With the VC climate in Canada being what it is, its really important for entrepreneurs to position their businesses so that they can succeed even without outside funding. There will be a panel of speakers, both entrepreneurs and investors, that will share their experiences in this area. It should be a very entertaining evening. Scott Lake and I are both on the panel so make sure to drop by! :)

Here are the details for the event:

Date: Thursday May 29, 2008
Time: 5:30pm – 8:30pm
Location: The Marshes, 320 Terry Fox Drive
Registration: No-charge, but please RSVP to kdaize@ocri.ca

 

Ottawa’s technology clusters, OCRI Global Marketing and The Ottawa Network present the 3rd annual “Buddy Keep your Million” funding focused event.  In light of the almost non-existent VC money filtering into the city, the theme of this year’s event is based around how innovative people get their companies off the ground without the traditional financing options. The panel will be made up of experienced veterans and energetic start-up entrepreneurs.

 

Panel Participants:

  • Moderator, Bruce Lazenby, Chair Ottawa Software Cluster
  • Wael Aggan, TradeMerit Corp.
  • Richard Charlebois, GrowthWorks Capital
  • Rob Lane, Overlay.TV
  • Scott Lake, Jaded Pixel
  • Aydin Mirzaee, bOK Systems Corp. and Chide.it
  • Karen Letain, CMI International
  • Paul Slaby, Kaben Wireless Silicon Inc
  • Kareem Sultan, RaceDV

    Thanks.
