We could really use a strong startup city in Canada, but when your shining example is an incubator whose only features seem to be interrupting people who are working, I don't know that it's the best example. That might impress the Globe and Mail's readership, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think we need to focus on getting more VCs or more incubators, what we really need is to collect all the startup-inclined geeks in one place.
- paulgb 16y agoThe people who run Extreme University are well connected with Toronto/SV startups and have quite a bit of experience under their collective belts. Extrapolating one anecdote is silly. As I see it, the value in programs like EU is that people graduating from places like Waterloo and UFT are less likely to take their talent with them to join a big tech company or hedge fund (more often than not, crossing the border to do so).
