Announcing INcubes DemoDay INtake02 Programme
It’s nearly [IN]cubes Demo Day • INtake 02 Wednesday, September 12, 1pm • INvite Only; at the Toronto Stock Exchange Tower . As INtake 02 grads on our second DemoDay, our 4 Startups are poised to make their presence known globally.
Toronto boasts the most exits of any city in Canada, although it severely lacks support for early-phase internet entrepreneurs. At DemoDay Toronto’s Tech Community looks back at what INcubes has spurred and how Canadian startups fit into global business.
INcubes has successfully brought support for early startup teams in Toronto and to Canada’s business centre in the form of our private INcubator and nimble, agile, and competitive Acceleration Program. While only just in our second INtake, we’ve been listed as among the top accelerators in Canada, and we’re the only of significance servicing early startups in Canada’s finance centre. This DemoDay is the place to be to see Canadian INternet INnovation emerge. This is what we founded INcubes to do.

Mark Evans: "If I don't get you, you don't get me"
INcubes’ mentor, Mark Evans’ latest blog post offers valuable INsight for startups as INtake 02 prepares for Demo Day.
IF I DON’T GET YOU, YOU DON’T GET ME
In a world in which many people are time-strapped, multi-tasking and mentally scattered, the “get” factor is huge for startups.
By “get”, I mean how well and quickly a startup tells potential users what it does and what their product or service will do for them. It sounds simple but it’s difficult to do.
If people don’t “get” what a startup offers, it’s game over because they will quickly click away. On the other hand, a startup that makes it easy for people to “get” what they do has a great shot at winning over a new user or customer.
This fall, INcubes will host Toronto’s three-day Lean Startup Machine workshop!
“The Lean Startup is a term/process coined by Eric Ries, which involves rapid, iterative prototyping to test assumptions and to develop a product that customers actually want.”
Check out leanstartupmachine.com and follow @Lean for more information on how it works!
Stay tuned for the date of the workshop and when you can apply.
