Help a Recent Mac Grad

steve_d90 · 12-19-2011 at 01:27 PM

Hey Guys,

I graduated from Mac last summer (commerce) and began working at a start up called Sweet Tooth, in Waterloo (I miss Hamilton a lot FYI). We're trying to get nominated for the Techvibes Canadian Start Up Awards (see: techvibes.com/blog/the-first-annual-canadian-startup-awards-presented-by-kpmg-2011-12-15 ).

I really need your help, if we win this it would mean a lot to my company! All the long days and hard work would be worth it!

If you have a minute, PLEASE all you have to do is ANY:

1- Tweet this: help a Mac grad out & RT! @techvibes I nominate @getsweettooth for the Best New Canadian Startup of 2011 #StartupAwards

2- Go to this website - techvibes.com/blog/the-first-annual-canadian-startup-awards-presented-by-kpmg-2011-12-15 - and comment on the article: " I nominate Sweet Tooth for Best New Canadian Startup of 2011"

3- (optional) tell your friends and fellow Mac students to help out a Mac grad!

Thanks so much guys, I'll keep you update if we get nominated!

Why don't you first start by telling us what your company is and what you would do if you win?

So my company is called Sweet Tooth. sweettoothrewards.com

What we do is allow retailers to give their customers points for buying stuff, liking them on facebook, reviewing products and tons of other stuff. So we're a small software company on fixed resources, and we're trying to get funding of any sort to expand and further develop our product.

If we win, we would get a ton of exposure and possibly some Angel investors would help us out. Then we could expand the team (I'd DEFINITELY look at McMaster grads) and hopefully be a success story for Canada. That's a bit more long term though, we're just hoping to get nominated for the mean time.

And I do actually miss Hamilton; I moved to Waterloo and you wouldn't realize how much you love the place until you're living somewhere else. Nothing against Waterloo, it's a nice place too, but just different.

Like I said, any help is much appreciated. I asked MSU and MacAlumni on Twitter to help and haven't heard anything back.

Anyways, forget about it. I just thought I'd ask my old school for help. If anyone has tweeted or commented this, thank you so much I really appreciate it.
