Featured Presentations

Rogers Ventures, with Mike Lee, Chief Strategy Officer, Rogers Communications Inc.

As many of you have read (on StartupNorth, on Techvibes), Rogers Ventures is a new source for early stage seed level investment in Canada. Mike Lee will be explaining how they plan to support high tech ecosystems across Canada. Please bring your questions and suggestions for how they can work with our community.

The event is free but requires registration as we have limited space. If you want to present, please pick a Pitch Presenter ticket and fill out a short description of your concept. We’re looking for either live demos of your product, a run through of cool code / tools / frameworks, or something else of general interest to the developer and entrepreneur community.

Presenting companies

Mike Lee, the VP of New Ventures at Rogers, will be presenting at DemoCamp 9. You’ll get an opportunity to hear what Rogers’ plans are to work with and support tech ecosystems across the country, and what their investment plans are. I’m hoping for a lively Q&A as well.

The second featured presentation will be Tim Bray. Tim is a technologist with a long history of being involved in interesting things. Although he’s based in Vancouver, he spends a lot of his time traveling and presenting around the world.

The presenting companies have been selected and are as follows:

• Recotype – Recotype is an open framework for requesting and receiving recommendations on Twitter
• Yummy Republic – a wireless platform to link take-out restaurants with internet to enable them receive online orders and send back confirmation to customer instantly. YummyRepublic includes bespoke GPRS terminals, and several servers to control those terminals.
• Troovy – a web and mobile-based local discovery platform. Users find recommended places and people based on their own travel and feedback patterns.
• Deets.me – cloudy contacts
• Layerboom – Layerboom provides hosting companies with a comprehensive software
  platform which gives them the ability to turn their dedicated servers into virtual private server clouds.

In other news, after we made the call for people to help with DemoCamp, Vince Hodges of Sourdough Labs / Chipped.In / Pennyminder stepped up and said that he is going to help. Thanks, Vince!

Anyone else want to help plan / produce / source startups for DemoCamp? Leave a comment, we’ll do the next one in late November.
