I have blogged about Growvc before Growvc (conceptually similar to Zopa/kiiva but for startup/equity funding) and they have a new promotion code for us. It is OPENGD01 first 100 people can register with it.

I believe that they will launch a public beta soon as well in a month or two and will bring in more investment models

I am watching this space with interest since the funding model for apps could suit this concept

Mayor David Miller and the City of Toronto proclaims September 12-16, 2009 MOBILEINNOVATIONWEEK to recognize a landmark event for the mobile industry.

Anchor events include FITC Mobile, Mobile Media World 09 and the MobileBiz BootCamp. Mayor Miller will be on site to deliver the opening address at Mobile Media World 09 on Tuesday September 15th at 9 a.m. EDT at the Glenn Gould Studio // CBC Broadcast Centre.

This is excellent recognition for all the work put in by Michael O Farrell , Michael Keefe and others and my congratulations to the whole team for their hard work(I am an advisor for this event)

Apart from me, speakers include Tomi, Chetan Sharma, Verizon, Bell Canada, Nokia, Samsung, Mobile entertainment forum, Rogers wireless and so many others.

I still have a few discounted tickets for the web cast at a promo of 25% discount (I understand that the rest of the event is fully sold out!) and you can get them here

By the way, our city host Mayor David Miller is doing a lot to promote Toronto and I look forward to meeting him this week and learning more about his efforts and follow him on Mayor David Miller on Twitter

I have been involved as an advisory capacity for this event and having seen it develop from a blueprint to what it is now, I think it could become an anchor event like Mobile world congress or CTIA in Canada. So, compliments again for the managing team

I am in Toronto for most of the week and I look forward to meeting you if you are here!

The webcast tickets are here
