Starting your tech business can be a very expensive endeavour for any entrepreneur and if you are anything like me you could be looking at some very expensive software, hardware, hosting and staffing costs just to get out of the gate. As daunting as this may sound, we are lucky to be in Peel where we have access to a world-class vendor ecosystem sitting right at our doorsteps. Did you know that Microsoft is giving away millions in software and services to help you build your tech business and bring it to market? Do you think you will save money by outsourcing your technology development oversees? Maybe you plan to service customers coast to coast and need nerds you can trust that can scale with you?
