[IN]cubes CEO Ben Zlotnick Building INvestor Bridges [IN]Chicago & [IN]NYC
INcubes CEO has been on the road this month doing some hands-on investor relations in U.S. startup investment hotspots.


As an accelerator in the vast Canadian landscape, INcubes has access to a plethora of northern talent in a very conservative Canadian investment climate.
INcubes has a differentiator that sets us apart from other Canadian accelerators. INcubes embraces the Tech Maverick. We are startup founders ourselves. INcubes is agile, nimble and can connect with unusual ventures that at first seem ‘out of the box’.
It is often those unusual ventures that we seek out that prove to be the most innovative and therefore the most valuable when given proper support through INtensive Acceleration and Ongoing INcubation. It’s also those that currently are the least supported by Canadian money and are often forced to move south and go ‘international’ far too soon.
Leaving a home network and support system too early creates great risk for any venture, and also creates a one-way brain-drain that’s not good for the Canadian Economy, nor for the U.S. investors. INcubes is working to change that.
Ben’s trips south and overseas are building bridges between investors and Canadian Startups.

From Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley to Silicon North, the exchange of opportunities and investments is most lucrative when it flow two ways.

ITBusiness: "INcubes Debuts a Highly Social Group of Internet Startups"

IT Business Canada weighs in on the exciting startups of INcubes INtake 02.
INcubes debuts a highly social group of Internet startups
The technology innovation incubator has announced their picks for demo day, scheduled for Sept. 12.
7/11/2012 12:15:00 PM By: Brian Bloom
INCubes, a Toronto startup accelerator that connects budding tech companies with investors, has announced this year’s lineup of startups for its annual program.
This year the roster is dominated by social apps: every one promises to make the social experience richer for both the users (in gaming, event information, gaming and news delivery) and the vendor (analytics, marketing commissions and promotions).
One project is called Event Holler, a free Web-based service that lets anyone become an event organizer. You can use it to create schedules and track ticket sales, and you’ll earn a commission for each ticket you sell.
Another application claims to make quiz games more social. GameDay provides an interactive platform where the audience can interact with broadcasters and team reps. Meanwhile, sentiment analysis is collected from the crowd and can be analyzed instantly by vendors.
Then there’s MyGoodNight, a crowd-sourcing social media application that aggregates real-time social media chatter around an event, nightclub or venue, including comments, tweets, images, videos and reviews. The growing popularity of a given event or place will automatically push it higher in the rankings.
Finally, we come to the dark horse: Boomerang. Currently in “stealth beta,” we don’t know too much about it other than it promises to revolutionize social location discovery. A select few will be filled in on the secret through private testing invitations.

Toronto’s INcubes Announces Second Round of Startups in Accelerator Program
Posted by Dan Verhaeghe on 2012-07-09 2:15:00 PM
The inaugural accelerator program did well to connect investors with promising startups during a demo day earlier this year. You can view the original cohort here; the second demo day will be taking place on September 12.
The CEO and founder of INCubes Ben Zlotnick says that “during the acceleration, founders gain the insight and direction not only from their team members in a formal setting, but also from a large pool of mentors. This gives them the ability to jury test their business models, product development and marketplace testing.”
• MyGoodNight is a personal nightlife ambassador that acts as a branded nightlife, venue, and event app. The app aggregates social media in real-time around a venue or event. The content is served according to popularity and other factors to ensure the best rises to the top.
During acceleration, the startup will redesign their app and launch it in the test market of Toronto. Then they will introduce it to new markets before officially launching the app.
• Event Holler is a new way for event organizers to create, manage, and promote, and sell out events. Organizers will be able to create custom-branded event pages with sophisticated scheduling, and be able to track ticket sales in real-time. What stands out the most though is the “holler” feature which will allow anyone to earn a commission on the ticket price if they promote the event.
Event Holler’s CEO is managing an entire development and marketing team at INcubes. They will be focusing on bug testing, usability testing, a soft launch, a hard launch, and a signup of 100 initial venues in Toronto. After all of that they will demonstrate “proof points” of potential traction based on activity netted through their soft launch in Toronto.
• Boomurang is in an emerging market known as social location discovery and are said to be leading the space in Canada. Details on Boomurang’s acceleration track are still to come.
• GameDay is an app that allows audiences to join the game and interact with broadcasters, team reps, and the whole audience. It is a social media quiz where people predict what will happen next during a game and win prizes.
The company says, “For vendors, we provide the most valuable real-time analytic data possible; data gathered from any question put to the crowd. We know what the crowd thinks in real-time.” GameDay during their acceleration is focused on technology development, usability testing, and sponsorship promissory agreements. Their CEO says the sports advertising and entertainment industry has never seen anything like what they are building before that comes with a lucrative revenue model.
