I wasn't even at this week's TNT! But I relived it with those that were:
Dom and Tim hosted a well-behaved, health-rule-abiding group of entrepreneurs in YEG that started off with polite questions about the weather, but took a welcomed, unexpected turn when a new guest revealed they would like to build Edmonton's first indoor dog park.
Soon the group was hypothesizing how to best put this idea into action! How to validate the business model before signing the lease. Or more importantly, how to clean-up all that indoor dog poop? Fire hydrants.
If you have any ideas, Tamara is looking for suggestions!
Down in YYC, Dan from NextGen, who is placing high school student interns in tech companies, shared what goes on behind the scenes at Telling it Like it is
And if you'd like to why know we think everyone could use a little more Saskatoon in their lives, check out Zack's personal diary entry on the subject.
