The minds that will propel the DMZ and its entrepreneurs forward

Honoured, humbled and excited to announce the DMZ’s new Advisory Council. Canada is filled with amazing individuals and finding the best was no easy task. With both a league of success behind them and innovation on their mind, I can safely say that we chose the brightest 19 individuals Canadian entrepreneurship and business has to offer. There are a lot of amazing things about Toronto and Canada, but one thing that always stands out is how generous we are. This holds true with these 19 brilliant men and women as they spend their time and energy building the best startup community in the world. But this is just the beginning. This council is set to not only extend what the DMZ stands for, but continue to make Toronto and the DMZ the #1 place for entrepreneurship in Canada.
