“I am in the unique position to hear stories about what this community and this event in particular has meant to several of Canada’s most ambitious entrepreneurs,” said Laura Buhler, Executive Director of the C100.” The relationships the founders make with other entrepreneurs from across Canada, Silicon Valley, and other major tech hubs are a precious asset to the entrepreneurs we support.”

48Hrs in the Valley introduces Canada’s most promising startups to Silicon Valley’s top mentors, investors, and industry executives.
