Hi ,

We hope this finds you, your families and colleagues healthy and safe.  As we all work to manage the ongoing challenges facing us as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that daily lives have been dramatically transformed, personally and professionally.

At C100, we have been thinking of ways we can support our community at large in these uncertain times, as many of you have reached out about need for supporting one another as we face unprecedented challenges of leadership. That’s why we’re happy to share that we’re taking C100 programming online beginning next week! If you are a founder or leader in the startup world, please join us on Zoom for Startup Playbook in a Sudden Downturn. Details are below.

While we can’t gather in person for a while, we will continue to fulfill the C100 mission to support, inspire, and connect Canadian entrepreneurial leaders. Let the C100 be a resource for you: we are here for questions, to connect you with opportunity where possible while we weather this storm together. Please reach out and let us know what topics and resources are of most interest to you and we’ll work to get you what you need.

Thank you and stay well,

The C100 Team
