Our events really are THAT good! In the wake of the exciting news from Hostaway (raising $325m), we’re looking back at the time when Marcus Räder spoke to a packed TechTO event about how it was one of our events that set him on his path. It just takes one person to inspire you. And he notes that it was the Founders that had taken the stage that encouraged him to start building. Today, Hostaway has reached more than $900m valuation. Keep going. And join our next event to get inspired too: www.techto.org/events #tech #together #founders #entrepreneurs #canadiantech
