We asked 140 start-up founders about Toronto’s tech scene. Here’s what they said

Toronto’s top entrepreneurs on start-up stereotypes, wild investor stories and who they admire most.

In June, Toronto Life sent a questionnaire to dozens of start-up founders and tech company CEOs in the Toronto-Waterloo Corridor. We asked them what they love about working in the GTA, what tech buzzwords they hate and what they’d be doing if they couldn’t run their own business, among other burning questions. Here’s what they told us.
