If you're in downtown Toronto, I'll be available until Thurs May 28th. I'm an accredited investor.

I'm not interested in a general meetup. I only want to network with other accredited investors or entrepreneurs who want financing and can send me a pitch deck in advance. You can private message me if the latter or former apply.

We're going to be sharing strategies for growing our existing businesses, discussing imminent problems, and talking about new projects we have in the works. If all you have is a fat wad of cash and are looking for some place to put it, then I don't think any of the Fastlane meetups are for you. There are plenty of other places to look. Thanks anyways.

 

[BEBOLD]

Any plans for another Toronto meet-up?

 

[hotshot]

The Sheraton Center has a nice lobby

June sounds excellent. Let's see if we can get a good showing.

Plan will be pretty much same as before: we meet in a bar with a large table and share what we've been up to and what we're doing for the rest of the year. We went to the Sheraton on Queen last time and ate at that burger joint in the hotel. If anyone's got any suggestions feel free to spit em out.

The goal for these meetups is to strengthen the Toronto Fastlane network and help each other out with problems (cuz we all got em). Maybe one day we can start a Beer and Poutine or something of the sort, get a bunch of people in from outside the city. But for now let's make sure the community here is tight.

@Oven @Stubbers come join us if you can

Hey @The-J , you're clearly missing out on a huge opportunity to meet with a non douchebag accredited investor who isn't full of himself at all... I think you should reconsider.

hahahahah, j/k

I hate to postpone this but things have come up (labor day weekend man). But this is how it's gonna go down:

New Date: September 20th, 2014
Location: Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel Lobby (123 Queen Street West)
Meet Time: 12pm local time (I'll be there around 11:30)
Cost of Attendance: Nothing (you just gotta get out here and pay for whatever food)

The Plan: meet at noon at the lobby, then go out for lunch + drinks maybe around 1 or so (or when everyone is hungry) and we'll decide on a place in the area then. After lunch we'll head back to the lobby and chat about how we've done over the summer and what some of our problems are. I'll be heading out around 5pm.

This is a great way to network with like-minded individuals in the Toronto area and is open to people at all stages of their entrepreneurial journey.

Note: this won't be a big event.

Alright guys. Tentative Updates:

TENTATIVE DATE: Saturday June 13th, 2015 at 12 noon (i'll be leaving around 4-5pm but you can duck out whenever you need to... you might miss something though )

TENTATIVE LOCATION: Sheraton on Queen St. Why? Because there are lots of chairs, tables, and I like the burgers.

If you can make it, tell me now.

Cost: $0 + cost of getting there + cost of an overpriced but quite tasty burger and beer.

I already know some of you but I want to get to know more Fastlane people in our great city. So let's get it

6 1/2 days left! Hope everyone can make it!

 

[The-J]

Good meetup. Left with some insight on what to do next.

We should do this again... maybe we should make it a little more legit this time.

Who would be interested in a larger-scale Toronto event?

Put suggestions below.

 

[BEBOLD]

Fantastic meet up! Pleasure meeting so many young and ambitious people. Would love to have more women show up next time. We only had 1 with I think 7-8 guys. We should continue meeting up once in awhile. Also, I think it would be very useful if we had our SLACK chat group for Fastlaners in Toronto(+Ottawa) where we can share some advice+articles and other things related to wealth creation. I'd gladly set it up if there is some interest, so let me know.

C+B had an amazing showing from Toronto this weekend. So why don't we all get together and share our progress later on in the summer?

The plan, I think, will be to take over the lobby of a hotel for a day, then grab dinner somewhere in the area. We will set a date once we get enough people who are interested.

Sound good?

If you want to come to look for a mentor or a business idea, you will be disappointed. If you want to meet other people doing things, then you will not be.

No need to be from Toronto to come!

[Stubbers]

Cheers guys it was nice meeting with you all

 

[ddzc]

I might be in this time if it's after June (not in town till then)...calling @Silverhawk851

 

[Bila]

Sounds great. Any dates yet ?
Btw ...
There is the Canadian Entreneurship Summit in Toronto on the 13-14 May for those interessted in attending

Usually it's for B&M businesses but i am sure they will be more than happy to have more Internet Entrepreneurs ( i met a few during the last one in Ottawa )
They can help with funding if you have a Canadian brand
