Each year we managed to schedule 1on1 meetings with investors and startups - 140 meetings (2014), 160 (2015) and ~200 (2016). On average these initial meetings result in attracting ~$2mil in seed stage investments.

    “Madusha was at Communitech while also serving as one of the two founding directors at the Founder Institute's Waterloo/Toronto chapter when I met him. He is one of the most resourceful and inspiring people I have met in life. He is very skilled in business incubation, product development, revenue models and go-to-market strategy. He was an amazing resource when I was attending the first summer cohort of Founder Institute Waterloo as a recruited founder. I have always felt so fortunate to have him as an experienced colleague, a true facilitator, a wise mentor and a reliable friend.”
