Anyone can be a Rockstar with a little Heart, Soul, Brains and Courage.

Over 65% of young people globally want to start their own business.

Coffee and ideas just go together.

In 2013, I travelled to Boston to visit my old professor, now at Harvard University. There, I discovered the Spangler Centre Café - a weekly social cafe where academics, students and business leaders came together to engage in world-changing conversations and access the tools and resources needed launch innovative new ventures through the Harvard Innovation Lab.

Back in Waterloo and throughout the rest of Canada, I kept meeting inspiring people who were dreaming up or working on game-changing ideas themselves, who could benefit from the same support community found in the café of Boston, San Francisco and Singapore. I was determined to bring that experience back to Canada, to share with you.

Together, we are Rockstars of Canada - the country’s largest online entrepreneurship community.
