Open People Network | CEO and founder, JP -- Jeffery Potvin (episode 226) | 12 January 2021

Jeffery (also known as Jeff or JP) has been “Open” with startups and founders for a long time, dating back to his days as an internal IT / dev guy for the Loblaw’s grocery chain. In those days, Jeffrey used his server room to meet with startups that “pitched” their ideas for the Loblaw ecosystem; fast forward a few years and now Jeffery and his Open People Network (“OPN”) team use Zoom, YouTube, Podcasts and social media to bring entrepreneurs and investors together.  Jeffery did get on the end of the Kaboose, drove down Route 15 and made a HardBoot before he landed on the OPN gig!  To learn more about the work of Open People Network, click on one or more of the links below:  §§§  Open People Network  Website | https://opn.ninja/  LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/openpeoplenetwork/ Instagram | @openpeoplenetwork  Twitter | https://twitter.com/Opeoplenetwork  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Opeoplenetwork/?_rdc=1&_rdr  YouTube | http://bit.ly/2MZzdGj  §§§ Affiliate companies:  Supporters Fund | website: https://supportersfund.com HardBoot Inc | website: https://www.hardbootinc.com §§§  Jeffery Potvin on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jefferypotvin/ §§§ Venture Capital | Founders | Startups | Startup | Technology | Innovation | Deeptech | Fintech | Financial services | Consumer Packaged Goods | CPG | Pharmaceuticals | Healthcare | Healthtech | Toronto incubators | Toronto Accelerators | York Angel Network | University of Toronto | Small business | Seed capital | Angel Investors | Pitch Presentation | Fundraising | Digital Marketing | Social Media | Entrepreneur | Entrepreneurs | Entrepreneurship |
