A special shout-out to Sienna Hermary for the invitation, to Kelly Daize for guiding me to the meeting (literally lol), and to Adam Dewar for the amazing coffee chat! Great meeting you all! Also big thank you to the Hub350, Invest Ottawa and Kanata North Business Association teams for organizing this incredible community event. It was great to see both small and large players in the cybersecurity industry come together. Over 30 leaders from local companies had the opportunity to introduce themselves and discuss our strengths and areas where we can improve as an industry. What a fantastic way to get to know each other and build meaningful connections! The main takeaway for me was the emphasis on supporting each other as professionals and entrepreneurs. Together, we can build a strong community with a clear focus: "Showcase the expertise and innovations that Ottawa-based cybersecurity companies can offer to both local and global markets." Looking forward to continuing these valuable discussions and growing this dynamic network. #SaasNorth #invest #Ottawa #KanataNorth #Startups #Saas #cybersecurity #wesleyclover
