Virtual Startup Weekend Starts Friday
Techstars is organizing a series of global virtual startup weekends to devise solutions to problems created by the COVID-19 crisis, and the Canadian version will be held this weekend.
Titled, Unite to Fight COVID-19, the event will take place from Friday, April 24 to the following Sunday, and feature participants from across Canada.
