Another Sprout Fund partner introduced a computer science student to the community while a double dose of Manzocco took the party up a notch. One of them is looking for more candidates to join CDL Rockies, where she just got a new job. Congrats Marissa!
New TNT community member Matt found us by combing through 50 startup-related organizations listed on the Alberta Innovates website - now that's dedication to finding a good happy hour!
Lawrence was visiting from Saskatoon and is looking forward to hanging out with Jesse and the YXE community next week.
It’s an opportunity to share with your peers all the new and exciting things you’ve accomplished as an entrepreneur.
It’s an opportunity to provide feedback and support to your fellow entrepreneurs.
It’s an opportunity to show the world that Alberta is about a hell of a lot more than oil and gas!
It’s an opportunity to remind our politicians and policymakers that Edmonton and Calgary are among the Top 50 cities for Tech Talent in North America according to CBRE's latest report and we need help moving them up the ranks even further!
July 29th: Friends. Innovators. Fun. Don’t register. Just come. Featuring friends from the UAlberta Health Hub and Accelerator and at least one Mayoral Candidate.
They've already recruited a dozen co-hosts and are making plans for 2 simultaneous after-parties in Saskatoon and Regina.
Our very own Tim Lynn just booked a ticket for the YQR party!
- Happy Hour in Calgary
YYC TNT Happy Hour kicking off August 19th
We've got our local YYC Ambassadors Jade and Neil actively exploring our YYC Happy Hour options and plan to launch it in conjunction with the Great Alberta Pitch Marathon YYC Afterparty on August 19th.
Stay tuned for more updates!
Politics at TNT: Neutral but still fun!
It's election season and candidates want to meet entrepreneurs.
We think it is awesome that local politicians and political candidates want to engage with the startup community in informal ways by attending our happy hour or host meet and greets that lead into our happy hour.
We encourage our community to attend, share your views, and discuss what issues are important to the startup community.
However, Startup TNT will not be officially endorsing any political candidates; we do of course encourage all members of our community to be politically active and support the candidates you believe in.
A 'Meet and Greet' leading directly into the TNT happy hour is coming up on the 29th with Cheryll Watson. We hope to see all serious mayoral candidates do the same.
Did you catch Catherine Warren at the Canada Day TNT in the park? She competed in a spicy hot wing eating competition, enjoyed locally brewed bevies, and chatted enthusiastically with all the guests to hear their stories and successes. We're glad to have her in our community as the new CEO of Innovate Edmonton.
In the few short months since she joined our community, she has assembled a great team that has already accomplished a lot:
We finished off the $500 bar tab contribution from Startup TNT Director and founder of Endeavour Advisory Brad Clark this week.
Meanwhile, Devin Pope is sponsoring 50 free drink tickets weekly for this amazing crew! Every week we learn about another creative way Devin supports the Edmonton ecosystem - he even cultivates bees on his roof to help ensure we've got a healthy population of local pollinators.
As one TNTer noted: What a huggable host!
