MontrealTechWatch’s Startup Guide
January 19th, 2008
Heri from MTW did it again. After launching Montreal’s startup map, he’s now writing a startup guide. This is exactly what I was looking for about a year ago when I started blogging and decided to start my own startup. Instead, I had to look for blogs, connect with people, go to {Bar,Demo,Facebook,Startup}Camps. Which is great in a sense as I learned the “hard way”. Even today, I still learn many new things everyday: new contacts, new blogs, new companies, etc.
But in this world where everything goes very fast (ex: building a Ruby on Rails application overnight), I think this will be a gold mine for anyone wanting to start their own company. As we all know, time is money and time is also often a succeed factor even though VC’s don’t really care. I think that being the first one DOES matter (as long as your product is decent).
Anyways, check it out and please don’t forget to send any information to Heri.

Oh it will help a lot I think! Especially computer students and designers who have no business background. It will also help older people (like me!) who don’t know about the “Montreal scene”.
