Invest Ottawa Open House

On Feb 13, 2014, we were at the Invest Ottawa Open House. Invest Ottawa (and it's accelerator program GrindSpace XL of which we are part) celebrated its two years of promoting business and job creation in the capital.

 Pil and Suzan with Ontario Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi visiting the open house.

To echo Suzan's entry below, I think last one month with GrindSpace XL has been that of literal acceleration for two green entrepreneurs with only technical backgrounds.

After a month, we are working with multiple billing agents who have signed on to use our app. We are also working with technologically inclined physicians who have confirmed our premise that the app will: 

• make it easy to collect billing data,
• transfer the data to the billing agent securely and immediately with a click of a button, 
• and eliminate worries of losing data, risking non-payment and exposing confidential information.

What a great idea, these accelerators. In Canada we are quite behind compared to Silicon Valley, but it's never too late! I thank the great insight the City of Ottawa and the Province of Ontario had 2 years ago.
