You might have seen Sprouter in the news lately – whether in the National Post, a CanWest newspaper, on Mashable, or in the Springwise newsletter. We wanted to share a few other pieces of coverage that we think embody what Sprouter is and what we’re trying to do for entrepreneurs – to facilitate connections, help startups build their network, and allow people to create support systems for themselves. We hope you’ll take a minute to take a look at some of the coverage below:
