MTL NewTech partner with Fasken Martineau to support Montréal startups
Fasken Martineau has a long history with technology startups, similar to MTL NewTech's involvement. They were in fact the first to support the idea of a first Startup Weekend in Montreal in late 2011, a bold idea at the time by collective minds from MTL NewTech and SRA from HEC Montreal.
We met with Jean-Nicolas Delage, partner, and Johann Gest, patent agent, who were entrepreneurial minds, eager to go out of their way to enable tech entrepreneurs reach their goal. Startup Weekend in Feb 2012 was a success, with Fasken largely supporting with their networks.

Since then, MTL NewTech has collaborated in small and large initiatives. Because of their commitment to Montreal startups, entrepreneurship, their friendly Startup Program, and of course proven expertise, we have recommended Fasken Martineau to early-stage and growing startups.
As explained in our previous post about our EY partnership, we are now growing MTL NewTech and looking at trusted partners.
We are now excited to work with Fasken Martineau on the next generation of Montreal startups. Along with supporting the events, Fasken will host work sessions before the monthly MTL NewTech events, to prepare startups. Fasken Martineau has a large network that we hope to benefit MTL NewTech startups. Quoting Jean-Nicolas Delage, partner :
"Fasken Martineau and its Start-up Program are proud supporters of MTL New Tech, a key catalyst of the Montreal Start-Up ecosystem. We feel privileged to be a part of the growth of MTL New Tech and of dynamic start-ups developing exciting new technologies. "
To Fasken Martineau, we say Thanks, from the Montreal Startup community !
