All you need is a blog to market your product? You’re so wrong
For the upcoming StartupEmpire conference in Toronto, we shot a few short videos with Mike McDerment, CEO of FreshBooks. In the videos, he talks about his experience as a startup entrepreneur here in Canada.
The first one is about blogs and marketing: All you need is a blog to market your product? You’re so wrong. More videos next week.

StartupEmpire – The Conference
Here’s a video of Jevon MacDonald and David Crow talking about the upcoming StartupEmpire conference in Toronto on November 13 and 14. It’s a Canadian conference “from entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs”.
StartupEmpire already has an amazing lineup of speakers including Don Dodge, Hugh MacLeod, Howard Lindzon, David Cohen, Austin Hill, Leila Boujnane, Lane Becker and Charlie O’Donnell. Watch the video for Jevon and David’s perspective on what they want to accomplish with the conference.
More information is available at www.startupempire.ca and on David and Jevon’s blogs.

Still holding hands…
Let’s see for how long. In a few minutes Poland and Germany will play each other at the UEFA EURO 2008 tournament. The divide goes straight through the family with Lori rooting for the football team of her mother’s home country and me rooting for my home country.
UPDATE: Germany won. Tough times are over. For now.

“ ‘Das Boot’ is the bible for any band that toured on a bus,” Mr. Hansard explained. “It’s the guide about how to live with a bunch of men.”
From an old New York Times article – Really enjoyed the movie Once
“The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!”
From the Danny Kaye page at Reelclassics.com – Love, love, love that site. I’ve been going to it regularly for ten years now. Can’t say that about many other websites. It’s the best resource for classic movies on the web.

Founders and Funders
When he’s not busy educating Toronto geeks on fashion style, David Crow dedicates a lot of his time to organizing and participating in tech community events.
Now I just came across the Founders and Funders event, which he and Jevon MacDonald of StartupNorth are bringing to Toronto on June 4 – for the second time.
Started in Montreal last November, Founders & Funders is about “helping to connect the founders of early-stage, venture fundable web and technology companies with the funding community in Canada.”
Sounds like a great concept to me.
Founders & Funders is a private, invite only social event.
Founders and Funders is dedicated: to helping Canadian entrepreneurs to meet each other; meet potential funders: angel, VC or other money sources; to have fun; and see how we can help each other create the NEXT BIG successful company.
More information about the June 4 event can be found here.
