Today, Fred and I attended the press conference announcing the launch of Montreal Start Up, a new fund dedicated to early stage investments in Montreal. It’s a great initiative run by John Stokes and Daniel Drouet.
And we’re pleased to announce that Montreal Start Up (or MSU for short) is one of our angel investors. When we announced our funding with iNovia Capital we did make mention of other angel investors coming on board as well. Montreal Start Up was one of those angel investors, we just couldn’t properly announce it at the time.
One of the great things about Montreal Start Up is the number of high quality investors and entrepreneurs supporting it. That means that Daniel and John and the companies they invest in can tap into a wide array of people who bring additional value in the form of strategy, experience, contacts, business opportunities, investment and more.
We look forward to working with Montreal Start Up and welcome them officially now that their fund is released.
