GET IN TOUCHWhat startup founders had to say about their DMZ YYZ experience
"I came to DMZ with zero connections to the market. After two weeks, I made many friends and contacts."
"I received tremendous support and opportunities."
"There is a feeling of home away from home. You are constantly learning and being connected which I really enjoyed. The ecosystem in Canada is diverse with plenty of opportunities. The DMZ program made integrating into the ecosystem much more attainable."
"It's a boost for your startup, for foreign companies especially, it's a gate to the Canadian market. You tap right into the middle of a network, not just 2 or 3 LinkedIn meetings but you dive into a community and you are surrounded by customers and mentors."
