Google CFO Patrick Pichette commends Montreal's "world-class" startup community
MONTREAL, Oct. 24, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - The OSMO Foundation is pleased to announce that Notman House will now be part of the Google for Entrepreneurs Tech Hub Network, becoming one of two tech hubs in Canada to join this dynamic network of nine leading startup spaces across North America.
"We are thrilled to welcome Notman House into Google's Tech Hub Network and to support Montreal's world-class community of startup talent," said Patrick Pichette, Google's Chief Financial Officer. "Our team has been incredibly impressed with the great work Notman House has done in Montreal to support and grow the startup community, and we are excited to work with them to do even more."
As a part of this partnership, the Notman House team will collaborate with Google and the eight other Tech Hubs across North America. Founded in 2013, the Tech Hub Network is the first formal network of its kind and connects leading startup hubs fueling local entrepreneurship in cities including Chicago, Denver, Austin, and Kitchener-Waterloo, among others. Google provides these tech hubs with funding, mentorship opportunities, Google training, and Google products, including access to the $100K Google Cloud Platform for Startups program. With the Google for Entrepreneurs Global Passport, entrepreneurs from each hub can also work for free from any other hub in the network.
"We're very excited to be working with the Google for Entrepreneurs team and to join this growing network of leading North American tech hubs," said Noah Redler, Notman House Campus Director. "This partnership will help us ensure that Montreal's most promising startups and entrepreneurs have access to a broad, international community where they can go for inspiration, innovation and networking with people living the same reality as them."
