Dear Partners and Friends,
I hope that everyone has recovered from a fantastic Global Entrepreneurship Week 2011!
November has seen a whirlwind of activity and progress for Startup Canada pre-launch phase. This week you can catch us at the National Angel Capital Organization Annual Conference (Ottawa) and Canadian Innovation Exchange (Toronto).
We are currently finalizing dates & logistics for the 2012 National Tour and inviting partners who wish to lend their facilities or support to indicate their interest by clicking here to complete a short electronic form by December 7th.
In this pre-launch update you will get up to speed on progress in November; discover how to contribute this month to the development of Startup Canada; and, find out who is new to the community and who has been helping to build the initiative.
In  the spirit of enterprise,
Victoria Lennox
