When I arrived in Toronto from California’s Silicon Valley, the high-tech capital of the world, I was concerned that Toronto wouldn’t have the network of tech companies and people that I had been accustomed to.

But over the last several months I have personally seen a side of Toronto that most living outside of it never see. Toronto is full of smart and friendly tech “connectors”; people who selflessly share insight and personal connections to help out others. You would expect that from your advisory board, and they definitely have produced, but it is inspiring to see it from friends, colleagues, and most times, just first-time connections.

Thank you from everyone involved with Shiny Ads for connecting us with investors, prospective customers, and brain-storming with us on new ideas and opportunities: Ari A, Casey R, Chris S, David C, Jay H, Jay G, Jeremy W, Jonas B, Jonathan T, Jose L, Mike B, Rob K, Richard R, Trevor H.

On another note, we are hard at work on several major new features that will greatly expand the reach of Shiny Ads for our web publishers customers. November and December will be very busy months, which in the start-up world, is a good problem to have.
