Thanks for Shopify, we gave away two tickets on next week’s Startup Train to International Startup Festival. We ran a twitter contest to award them. After a random draw from all entrants, our winners are Susie Pan and James Mclean…
I’m on @startuptrain to explore the depth of the start up ecosystem in Canada and what role youth can play to shape this future

Iām on @startupTrain to learn and connect with Ontario’s startup community. Bonus points – bringing @homefed to all the Montreal foodies š ā James Mclean (@Toyesm) June 20, 2014
Susie is a recent grad from business school and has chosen entrepreneurship over a traditional job. “I want to attend Startup Train to bring the youth perspective into the ecosystem and to engage in a creative non traditional setting of networking (eg. on a train). My current start up is a fashion mobile app that acts as your personal stylist.”
James is a local designer who views the trip as a “good opportunity to learn via workshops and other startups that are trying to solve similar problems. We are always recruiting too – so I’ll be on the look out for those who cook and code.“
