#StartupChats | Choosing a Location for Your Startup

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you decided to move your startup out of garage, picking the right office location is a big signal that your biz is ready to engage more with the others – customers, investors, partners, etc. And locations come with their own culture, communities, and costs, just like starting up in your own garage gives certain atmosphere to biz. In this episode, we will talk about some key considerations entrepreneurs should make when finding right location for their startups.
Join Startup Canada (@Startup_Canada) and Mastercard (@MastercardCAnws) for a live #StartupChats on Twitter from 12pm – 1pm ET. Hosted by Kylie Woods, the Founder & CEO of Calgary-based Chic Geek (@kywoods_), we’ll discuss Choosing a Location for Your Startup.
