    Online

    Join a beginner-friendly introduction to Cursor for Atlantic Canada builders. ​This is a practical live coding session for founders, students, developers, educators, and startup operators who want hands-on exposure to AI-assisted coding with Cursor. ​We will start with a short Cursor walkthrough, then build a small useful workflow or app live. The goal is to make Cursor feel concrete: how to plan, prompt, edit, debug, and iterate without turning the session into a generic AI talk. ​The session is virtual-first so people from Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown, St. John's, and the broader Atlantic Canada community can join. ​If there is enough interest, the next step will be a smaller hybrid hack night or campus/founder session with a local partner. ​Agenda: 0:00 - Welcome and why this is being tested in Atlantic Canada 0:05 - Cursor basics: what to know before building 0:15 - Live build: create a small AI-assisted workflow or app 0:45 - Practical patterns: prompting, refactoring, debugging, and agent use 0:55 - Q&A 1:05 - Interest poll for follow-up campus, founder, or hybrid hack-night format

    Startup Smarter Bootcamp

    June 19 - June 20
    Ceed 159 Wyse Rd, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

    Come with your idea. Leave with a plan. Starting a business isn’t about luck, passion, or grinding harder. It’s about solving a real problem - for real people - in a way that actually matters. If you’ve got an idea but no clear starting point, this 1.5-day bootcamp is for you. It’s built for early-stage founders, side-hustlers, and soon-to-be entrepreneurs who want to do things right, from day one. Here’s what you’ll walk away with: Why more than 70% of startups fail in their first year - and how to avoid becoming one of them The essential mindset shifts serious entrepreneurs make (and how to train yours) How to use the Business Model Canvas properly - not like a business school assignment A way to test whether your idea solves a real problem (or just sounds good in your head) How to avoid the product-first trap and anchor your business in real customer pain This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a small group (max 8), no-nonsense, hands-on working session grounded in experience with over 200 startups. Expect honest feedback, strategic thinking, and moments of uncomfortable clarity - the kind that moves your idea forward. You’ll leave with a mental roadmap […]

    From Survival to Sustainability with Matt Thomson from Placemaking 4G

    Featured June 24 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm ADT
    The PIER 1209 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Nova Scotia, Canada

    High-growth environments demand a lot from founders and leadership teams. The pace of innovation, constant decision-making, and pressure to perform can push even the most capable leaders into cycles of stress, overextension, and burnout. But sustainable leadership isn’t about working harder, it’s about building the habits, boundaries, and self-awareness that allow both leaders and businesses to thrive over the long term. This refreshingly honest and practical session explores the human side of entrepreneurship: the energy, values, and rhythms that quietly shape leadership capacity and business performance. Through real-world insights and practical frameworks, we’ll examine how stress, decision fatigue, and people-pleasing show up in leadership—and how addressing them can directly impact clarity, profitability, and long-term resilience. Tailored for the fast-moving tech community, this workshop meets founders where they are—ambitious, innovative, and often stretched thin—and provides practical tools to build endurance without burnout. Participants will learn strategies to navigate high-stakes environments more sustainably while strengthening both their personal leadership and the health of their business. Session Takeaways: Practical strategies for navigating stress, decision fatigue, and people-pleasing; A framework for self-leadership in high-growth, high-pressure environments and; Clarity on the habits and structures that sustain high performance over time.
