Board Member, Fondation OSMO (Notman House)
La Fondation OSMO est un organisme à but non lucratif ayant pour mission de financier des initiatives locales de support à la création de communautés et de collaboration. La Fondation a été créée par des investisseurs, des exécutifs du domaine des technologies et des média ainsi que par la communauté afin de supporter la croissance et le développement de la prochaine génération d’entrepreneurs technologiques de Montréal.

En tant qu’organisme subventionnaire, la Fondation OSMO n’organise pas d’activités et d’événements elle-même mais supporte financièrement les activités proposées et organisées par les membres de la communauté.

La mission d’OSMO est d’utiliser ses ressources financières pour faciliter le transfert de connaissances, le partage d’expérience et de relations entre entrepreneurs et leurs écosystèmes qui les supporte ainsi que les aspirants entrepreneurs. Ces transferts ont lieu via des activités continues d’événements de maillage virtuels et physiques ainsi que par la mise sur pied d’initiatives de la communauté.
