Out of curiosity, what city did you base the startup out of? (Couldn't find it on the website). I recently moved back to Toronto (Amazon Seattle to Amazon Toronto) and I've noticed that there really seems to be growth in the industry here. Lots of little start-ups, and lots of large companies opening and expanding offices. It's fantastic.
- serverascode 13y agoThere's an Amazon Toronto?
- mcpherrinm 13y agoYes, both in Mississauga by the warehouse and in downtown, though I don't know details about either location. http://toronto.amazon-jobs.com/ http://toronto.amazon-jobs.com/
- CaveTech 13y agoIt's worth noting that Amazon will pay the same employee less money to work in Toronto than Seattle, yet cost of living in Toronto is slightly higher.
- nasalgoat 13y agoYou don't have to pay for healthcare is the justification I believe.
- jacalulu 13y agoWe were based out of Markham while I was back living in Toronto (free office space), but have relocated to Mountain View while going through YC. We haven't decided where we will be based out post Demo Day yet - I think it will depend on how the next couple of weeks play out. Toronto/Waterloo area is definitely growing and expanding - I went to school at UW and it's crazy to go back and visit and see how much has changed. I'm also partial to the SF area, the energy here is still quite different than back in Toronto I've found.
