I’m excited to announce our most recent team member to the Mercury Grove team, Guido Giordano.

Guido has a sharp analytical mind, a passion for startups, and international experience and viewpoint that is a huge asset to all startups in Ottawa.

Guido is a young and passionate entrepreneur who just arrived in Canada from Italy. In his home country he worked with EnLabs, the first business incubator in Rome. He was responsible for structuring and launching this new incubator and was instrumental in its early success. While at EnLabs, Guido worked with some of the largest venture capital firms in Europe. He was also focused on selection and providing guidance and mentorship to startups in the program. He helped to develop and nurture the startup culture in Rome, organizing events and conferences with international speakers like Carl Schramm, former president of the Kauffman Foundation.

Guido has a Masters Degree in Entrepreneurship from LUISS University in Rome where he wrote his thesis about business incubators and early stage companies.

And he wants to meet every startup in Ottawa, so if you haven’t spoken to him yet, please send him an email – I guarantee that a one hour coffee with Guido will give you some pretty cool insights into your business.
