Collision 2019 was an incredible event where over 25000 innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs descended on Toronto. The The Startup Coach and the TorontoStarts Leadership team were there taking it all in. While Andrea and Meagan were following the different content tracks and there was something for everyone. The Startup Coach spent most of the conference talking to TorontoStarts community Startups connecting them to investors and other resources and talking to new ones. Here are some pictures and highlights from Collision 2019 with The Startup Coach
