Startupifier's Bootcamp is coming up this weekend. This our second event and our goal remains the same to help in creating an entrepreneurial culture in Montreal and amongst students. While our first event was about networking and meeting the community the bootcamp is all about building real products.
Anyone with an idea and interested in executing it should be registered - you can do so here.
The event is taking place October 22-24 at McGill Thomson House, thanks to McGill Research and Innovation, Montreal Startup and BDO Canada. The event will be an opportunity for students from different schools and different backgrounds to collaborate and build out prototypes of ideas over 48 hours, in time for the demoes on Sunday at 5.
The crowd picked winning team will also win some great things like:
- workspace from One Year Labs
- consulting from Mark MacLeod
- $1000 from Montreal's Hopper*
*On the Hopper note - the prize will be awarded if enough people follow them on Twitter and Facebook. So check out this great company and help us secure a great prize!
