StartupNL-Corner Brook, the latest pod for the Startup Newfoundland and Labrador group, will hold its inaugural meeting on Monday at 6 pm at the Navigate Entrepreneurship Centre in Corner Brook.

StartupNL  and the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Technical Industries have been working on the group for several months and are now moving ahead with the plans.

“We're looking for entrepreneurs and those that support entrepreneurs,” said StartupNL in a statement. “Brad Feld author of Startup Communities calls these leaders and feeders. We're hoping to identify a team of three or four leaders in Corner Brook that want to champion this project.”

The provincial body is offering support and looking for local leaders to step forward to organize the Corner Brook chapter.

The founding of the Corner Brook organization is the first step in a plan to spread the work of StartupNL across the province.
