Maple Leaf 2.0 - New “Playground” for Entrepreneurs — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 13:21:38 +0000

[...] Here’s something different and pretty intriguing: an “indoor playground” in downtown Toronto for “creative people who want to make a difference in [high-tech] industry and within Toronto”. Created by Mark Dowds and Bobby John, the playground is 2,000 sq. feet “where great ideas and ventures are birthed. We want the new entrepreneurs and start-ups in the area to feel like it is a safe place and a home to hang their hat.” As far as I can tell, there’s really nothing like this idea in Toronto, which needs a place where entrepreneurs can gather to exchange ideas and hang out. If you look at how many people go to DemoCamp, BarCamp, the PR Meet-Up and the mesh-up, it illustrates how excited people are these days and their interest in hearing from and talking to other people in the industry. (Hat tip to Rob Hyndman for put the spotlight on the playground). Austin Hill is also intrigued by the idea of the playground, which sees as a key way to nurture start-ups in Canada.
