First Talk at a Tech Conference: Years Bootstrapping

Startup Speakers Tech Conference

INCREDIBLE NEWs to share with you all! YEARS IN THE MAKING!!! FIRST tech conference invited us to speak. Grateful for folks like Jonathan Hillis and Mell Truong from Techskis for supporting founders from all walks of life. This is just in time for our Top 100.

There are so many bootstrappers and service-based businesses where the stories get brushed aside. Tech meetups and conferences shouldn’t just be about fundraising but the reality is 99% of startup programs and meetups especially in Toronto are geared towards fundraising.

I previously wrote about this on The FoundersPress why we need bootstrappers at tech conferences as bootstrappers are not at the table. Bootstrapping is becoming main stream and it is the future of entrepreneurship.

We’re grateful for initiatives like Techskis bringing something fresh to Canada’s tech community. I will be moderating a stellar panel on community discussing with:

Megan Rafuse (Shift Collab)
Hana James (Greenhouse Juice Co.)
Brad Duench (Osler Bluff Ski Club)

Let’s get more bootstrappers at tech conferences.
