I go to Notman House pretty much every time I'm in Montreal, and I learn something new every time. It is definitely a very cool hacker space, and I highly encourage anyone who wants to see a thriving community outside of Silicon Valley to donate! (I just did)
Notman house is awesome, and could really help drive the Montreal entrepreneurial community. For Silicon Valley folks, think of a "plug and play" place, but a completely dilapidated one...
I live about two blocks from there, just north off St Urbain. I will definitely be helping out with this, it looks completely awesome! Good job everyone.
The Montreal startup community is buying this historic property in the heart of the city to make a permanent technology centre. The new building will be 30,000 sq ft and include a cafe, co-working space, and offices for funds and startups. Help us out!
I had the chance to visit this space when I was in Montreal for Confoo last February. It's a pretty nice space and could be awesome with the right work put into it..
I'm in to back you guys. :)
Notman house is definitely at the epicentre of the currently booming montreal startup scene.
I really hope they manage to get to match their goal and secure the house for the benefit of all the montreal entrepreneurs.
This is an awesome project and has fostered some great seed-stage projects. It's a key part of the ecosystem that's putting Montreal on the world stage for tech startups.
Notman is an awesome place for hackers in Montreal and I'm glad they plan to double the events space. More hacking with more breathing room. Can't go wrong with this! ;)
