I’ve just returned from the Sproutup Toronto, a monthly event run  by Sprouter. Many fantastic people were met, several deals have been made, business cards were traded and I’ll certainly return  next time.

I had the pleasure of meeting both the Public Relations executive and an Associate, Suresh, of Extreme Venture Partners. They are running a Summer program for tech startups anywhere in the world called Extreme University. Applications are free but the deadline is June 4th, 2010.

Similar to Y Combinator they are looking to seed concepts and bring them to reality. There is a preference for 2+ man companies but my understanding is this is flexible. You will get free office space, $5,000 US + another $5,000 per founder and plenty of mentoring. Having seeded Bumptop which has now been sold to Google you can see they certainly know their stuff.

Click here for more information. Tell them Alex sent you. The Deadline is June 4th. After speaking for a while they seem like good people. I’ve attached a brochure they gave me with more info.
