#StartupChats
On the last Wednesday of every month, join fellow entrepreneurs for live Q&A sessions on Twitter to talk about topics and issues that matter to Canadian entrepreneurs.
Hop into the conversationA Monthly Twitter Chat to Support Entrepreneurs
What is it?
From 12-1pm ET, join us on Twitter to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and learn from their experiences. Each month, we tackle a new topic and provide you with the opportunity to share your knowledge, ask questions and meet new entrepreneurs from coast to coast to coast.
Why join?
Too often, entrepreneurs are not aware of the support, programs and people who exist to help them on their journeys. Through #StartupChats, we not only bring awareness to resources for Canadian business owners, but help facilitate relationships between entrepreneurs and support organizations.
