The modern day startup doesn't need a lot of money. Rather, the key ingredients are the energy of like-minded people with various talents as well as enabling resources and know-how. This group is for those of us dreamers with big ideas, who have actually been doing something to build up dreams, and ready for others (investors, mentors, co-founders) to help make our dreams come true.

This group is about a combination of talented people, young or seasoned, with the ability to build the next big thing on the Internet or mobile world, and change the world for better. The group will have technical, marketing, and content contributors, focused on a few topics at a time, with specific goals in mind.

Big dreams need not be restricted to Silicon Valley. With the talent and diversity of Torontonians, let's prove that we can build startups, and make something big that benefits the world.

Who do we have amongst us?

- Entrepreneurs & Innovators

- Engineers & Programmers

- Marketers & Financial Analysts

- Social Media Experts & Web Designers

- Investors & Mentors

- Tech Enthusiasts & Frontiers

- Legal & Insurance Professionals

- Researchers & Graduate students

Please join and be affiliated with at least one of the above expertise and/or Focus TEAM groups. We will be having frequent meetings on specialized topics of the respective groups besides major networking events/seminars across all groups.

Together, We Can Achieve Something Great--Individually & Collectively
