If only Ontario/Canada did something like Startup Chile instead of burning money in the Mars building/project.



OCE is starting to. There is the OCE Smart Start fund and it is fairly simple process to apply for the grant. There is not too much of an ecosystem of support, but the money is nice. http://www.oce-ontario.org/programs/entrepreneurship-program...


Not sure why they are excluding older entrepreneurs (18-29 is the required age). I went to UofT, I'm in my mid-30s and in the Toronto area .. I get excluded from the whole Waterloo ecosystem, and programs such as this one. What I have around me is Mars, which doesn't make sense to me. Frankly, there seems to be a better tech culture around Ryerson (again, targeted at their students) than for my alma mater. We have Mars close by but as you can tell, I don't see how it benefits fledgling entrepreneurs.
