He knows that this is very much what I am trying to do with the networking event, Launch Party. We've done some cross pollination with the folks at Twiistup in LA and we would love to do a joint event with start-ups in Montreal to bring our tech communities together. We should all chat offline about making this happen. Maura (Strutta & Launch Party Vancouver) @ John,

I think MSU is a fantastic idea, and will create a great foundational layer of early-stage technology companies. I think we'll see more programs like this as the early innovators succeed...

MSU manages a Fund but we also work as part of the Montreal community to give input and advice to entrepreneurs as they develop their ideas - if an investment opportunity comes out of it - great - but we don't want people feel they need to wait until they need money to have a chat with us. Good luck with your initiative - we've heard only positive stuff so far !
