Who is Celia Lopez?! I’m a first-generation #Latina + #Filipina#FemaleFounder in #Canada whose on the #startup journey towards building + growing https://t.co/xEzK9LCguM. I’m here to share my story & journey towards our first seed round raise & how this #startuplife turns out!
We need to be doing everything we can to turn Canada into the best place for entrepreneurs to build 🇨🇦
What's proposed in the federal budget will do the complete opposite. Innovators and entrepreneurs will suffer and their success will be penalized -- this is not a wealth tax, it's a tax on innovation and risk taking.
Our policy failures are America's gains. At a time when our country is facing critically low productivity and business investment our political leaders are failing our country's entrepreneurs.
Please start listening to the people in the arena.
Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything.
When Celia was a kid, her parents signed her up for every sport possible.
Today, she runs @PlaceMadeCo, Toronto’s first #health + #fitness#workspace.

@justingordon212 I went through their process as well. In my gut, I got red flags 🚩 so we decided not to go forward. It also didn’t sit well with me that we had to pay to participate in the program? If you run a startup, you know your cash flow is everything, so why give that up?
@AngeZanetti Most definitely! As an independent fitness professional, it's hard to access spaces, i.e. gyms, to work with clients privately without getting hassled. So we created a shared private training studio & workspace solution for these professionals to work with their clients!
Pitched today to The Founder Funds for a chance to win barrier-free funding for https://t.co/xEzK9LCguM We won 🥈 place not quite the win I wanted, but to be selected top 3 from 100s of entries is still worth celebrating! Celebrate all your successes! #startuplife#femalefounders
Placemade has been selected as a 2022 Pitch Event finalist for The Founders Fund. Each finalist will pitch LIVE to a panel of distinguished judges for a shot at taking home barrier-free funding; YAY! #LETSGO#startuplife#founders#startup
I did gain helpful advice from that meeting, however! They shared these valuable tools that I hope my other fellow Canadians Startups might benefit from https://t.co/8i18irOEhP and a list of Canadian Angel Investors via @notion

2nd investor meeting update - I am really beginning to understand the importance of finding the right fit investor for your business. If health & fitness isn't already in your lifestyle or you have industry experience, chances are you won't get what I am trying to build #startup
Morning updates post 1st investor meeting with new evaluations. It went ok. I felt like it could’ve been better. I received good feedback, but I have to do better at showing the #MONEY! The story is down pact, but the money needs to be flying out 💸💸 #startuplife#femalefounder
