Toronto, 19 June, 2012 – Virtual data room provider Firmex is helping to cultivate the next generation of entrepreneurs by partnering with Ryerson’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ) in Toronto. Firmex will provide virtual data rooms to the DMZ’s community of startup companies to store and share confidential files online. With the addition of these virtual data rooms, DMZ entrepreneurs can more efficiently and transparently handle sensitive documents, facilitating a number of business transactions ranging from raising capital to investor reporting.

“We are very pleased to offer this powerful software tool to our DMZ entrepreneurs,” said Valerie Fox, Executive Director of Ryerson Digital Media Zone. “Secure file sharing is an integral element for any startup company, and the addition of Firmex’s virtual data rooms will contribute to our teams’ success.”

Firmex, a software company also based in Toronto, is a cloud-based provider of secure document sharing services. Virtual data rooms differ from other cloud-based document sharing services by providing stringent document-level security, such as encryption and digital rights management. Virtual data rooms are well-suited for processes that need to share large amounts of confidential documents, in a limited timeframe, with individuals that sit outside the corporate firewall, including M&A deals, financial audits, fundraising and investor reporting.

“We are extremely proud to be working with the Digital Media Zone and supporting the next wave of entrepreneurial talent,” remarked Joel Lessem, CEO of Firmex. “Our virtual data rooms help facilitate thousands of corporate transactions every year, so the startups in the DMZ are getting exposure to the most up-to-date and relevant business tools available.”

In addition to providing virtual data rooms to the DMZ, Firmex is also actively engaged with the DMZ community. Last week Joel Lessem was a key-note speaker at the DMZ’s monthly CEO Society event, hosted by StartMeUp, a student-run business development organization. Drawing upon his own experiences as CEO of Firmex, Joel shared his knowledge on building a successful software company and raising capital with the DMZ’s young entrepreneurs.

Komodo, KytePhone, Electric Courage and Virtual Next are the newest recruits into the DMZ’s collaborative downtown hub

TORONTO, June 11, 2012 — Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ) welcomes four new companies into its downtown hub. The ventures include a maker of inclusive technologies for people with disabilities (Komodo OpenLab), an app transforming smartphones into child-friendly devices (Kytephone), a mobile app to locate and connect with others in evening hotspots (Electric Courage) and an electronic gift card provider (Virtual Next). These ventures join 41 other teams currently operating out of Ryerson University’s interdisciplinary workspace for digital thought leadership.

“I’m pleased to welcome Komodo, Kytephone, Electric Courage, and Virtual Next into the DMZ,” said Valerie Fox, Digital Media Zone Executive Director. “The addition of these forward-thinking businesses contributes to our mission to build Canada’s future as a global hub of innovation and economic development.”

Komodo OpenLab develops open and inclusive technologies that facilitate the daily lives of people with disabilities. Co-founded by Ryerson MBA graduate Mauricio Meza, the company enhances the accessibility of mainstream technologies by leveraging the wisdom of users and their communities through the use of open-source technologies and open standards. Komodo’s first product, Tecla, is a set of open software and hardware tools that facilitate access to mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, for those who are unable to manipulate them due to disease or disability. Tecla users can control their devices using the highly customized interfaces with which they already familiar, such as their wheelchair driving controls or adapted switches. Unlike other assistive products and services, Tecla enables access to off-the-shelf products, including iPhone, iPad and Android devices, promoting the more sustainable development of inclusive, rather than segregated products and services for this segment of the population.

The first and only product of its kind, Kytephone is a free app that transforms any Android smartphone into a child-friendly device. Once installed, Kytephone safeguards a child’s mobile experience by allowing parents to control all aspects of that phone’s use, including who the child may call and what apps they have access to. Via an intuitive online dashboard parents can manage the phone’s activity, including monitoring who was called and how long apps were used. Parents can also view the phone’s location in real time. Once activated, the Kytephone interface cannot be removed without parental intervention, even after rebooting the phone. It is available for free download and will run on Android 2.2 or above. Kytephone was conceived by Renat Gataullin, a recent graduate from the YCombinator incubator program, considered the world’s most prestigious program for budding digital entrepreneurs.

Electric Courage is a mobile application that can make the difference between an average night out and a night to be remembered. The social app provides tools to help plan where to spend an evening on the town in Toronto by searching nearby spots and making suggestions based on user preferences, venue popularity, entrance waiting times and daily specials. Once inside a venue, Electric Courage also provides options for messages and live chatting to connect with others in the same location. Available for iPhone, Blackberry and Android, the app also keeps users in the loop on upcoming events at their favourite venues. Electric Courage was conceived by a team that participated in The Next 36 entrepreneurial training program and has recently partnered with a major liquor brand to co-promote its recent product launch.

Virtual Next is an innovative electronic gift card processing company that helps customer-facing businesses sell digital gift cards. With Virtual Next’s instant and convenient e-gift cards, businesses can leverage the power of the Internet and social media while cutting down on the time and resources required to sell, handle and ship physical gift cards. Instead, customers receive a personalized image of a gift card delivered electronically via e-mail, mobile phone, or Facebook. They can then choose to print out, present the e-gift card using a smartphone or redeem online at the store level. Virtual Next also provides businesses with detailed analytic tools helping them to determine conversion rates, sales patterns, and popular e-gift card designs, to better track sales patters and usage. Virtual Next’s current clients include spas, restaurants, hotels and retailers. Company co-founder Andy Lai graduated from Ryerson University’s Internet Technologies Management program in 2007.

Award honours women entrepreneurs and innovators in Canada’s technology sector

TORONTO, June 5, 2012 — On the evening of Wednesday, May 30th, the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATAAlliance) announced the winners of its 27th Annual Innovation Awards. The prestigious Canadian Women in Technology (CanWIT) Sara Kirke Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation was awarded to Valerie Fox, Executive Director of the Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ). The annual award is presented to a Canadian woman who has shown the most outstanding technological innovation and corporate leadership significantly expanding the frontiers of Canada’s advanced technology industry.

“It is my great honour to accept this award on behalf of trailblazers in entrepreneurship and innovation across Canada,” said Fox. “Events such as these reinforce the impressive contribution our country has made in the field of technology. At the Digital Media Zone we’re currently preparing the next generation of entrepreneurs to grow Canada’s digital innovation economy.”

The Sara Kirke Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is presented to a Canadian woman who has demonstrated consistent innovation and leadership skills, resulting in the creation and international acceptance of significant world-class products and/or services.The award is named after a North America’s first and foremost woman entrepreneur. Sara Kirke arrived in Newfoundland in 1638 with her husband David Kirke, who was soon recalled to England. Sara, however, continued in Canada managing the family’s business affairs at their plantation, and eventually became one of the most successful merchants on the English Shore.

Executive Director of the Digital Media Zone, Valerie Fox has over 25 years of tech experience in both academia and industry sectors. Her roles ranged from business development, to creative direction and user experience. Fox’s experience in facilitating organizational change, coaching, project management, innovation, communication strategy, user experience and creativity was the perfect fit for her initial role at Ryerson University: facilitating student engagement. Before joining Ryerson University, Valerie Fox was the National Practice Lead of User Experience Design for IBM Canada, and the Creative Director for the Official Sydney Olympics website. Fox is a professional coach and an inventor herself, holding multiple patents.

“Women’s participation and leadership in the technology sector is vastly under-represented. Each year CanWIT seeks out a female tech leader who helps advance entrepreneurship and who exemplifies leadership in innovation. With a long career in technology and now leading a top-notch incubation centre for entrepreneurs, Valerie is a role model for young women who aspire to careers in tech,” says Joanne Stanley, Executive Director and Founder of Canadian Women in Technology. Role models and mentorship are key to the advancement and retention of women in the technology workforce.”

Canadian Women in Technology (www.canwit.ca) was founded in 2005 as a national community grassroots network for women to work together to advance their careers or succeed as entrepreneurs. With a network of over 200 working volunteers and 4000 participants, CanWIT provides programs and support in professional and leadership development as well as mentorship, networking and advocacy.

The largest high-tech association in Canada, CATAAlliance matches businesses with opportunities across almost every sector. Reaching out from Canada, CATAAlliance members are connected with investment and partnership opportunities with the major global companies. CATA is the foundation for commercialization, market research, networking, events, access to other associations, and professional development, across the nation. For over two decades, the CATAAlliance Innovation Awards Gala has been celebrating the best in Canadian advanced technology from coast to coast.

Ottawa-based Coral CEA has invested $120,000 in four companies located at Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ), and Coral CEA is reviewing possible investments in even more firms at the DMZ. “We are attracted to teams who are ‘getting it done’ versus talking about innovation and we want this type of collaboration to set a new standard in Ontario,” says Brian Forbes, Executive Director at Coral CEA. Forbes believes the DMZ has taken a hands-on approach with entrepreneurs that is a perfect fit with Coral CEA.

At the DMZ Coral CEA has invested in:

• ARB Labs Inc. designed a software application that that allows any video display to create an immersive 3D effect – without the need for goggles or glasses
• Greenguage Inc. developed a software tool for smartphone and Web that blends mobile technology with the green movement allowing monitoring of Corporate Social Responsibility efforts
• HitSend Inc. offers an online platform to enable and enhance community-based change by tapping into the community’s collective voice
• ViaFoura Inc. created a cloud-based plug and play user engagement and gaming platform for online content sites

“Coral CEA’s funding will allow us to add two more people to our current staff of five. The DMZ and Coral CEA are not just paying lip service to innovation, they are not just talking, they have a plan of action,” says Warren Tanner CMO at HitSend. He adds, “There is no better business school than starting a business and that is exactly what we do.”

The DMZ launched in the spring of 2010 with over 6,000 square feet of downtown Toronto office space. In just over a year and a half, the DMZ has almost doubled in size and has assisted more than 190 innovators to incubate and accelerate 38 startups, launched more than 61 projects and fostered over 350 jobs. The DMZ is a centre for creativity, collaboration and innovation that acts as a catalyst for cross-pollination of skills. The focus is on the commercialization of software applications.

Ryerson students use the DMZ as a home base to establish new companies. “Young people work in a business realm that never existed before and they naturally embrace collaboration and open innovation like never before. Coral CEA brings the Open Innovation ecosystem to our companies and that is a crucial addition,” says Valerie Fox, Director of the DMZ.

“Ontario’s creative environment, world-class education system and proven business experts are second to none,” says Brad Duguid, Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Innovation. “Collaborations like this are the key to success. That’s why we helped establish Coral CEA and why we’ve made it easier for entrepreneurs across the province to get the help they need to succeed; while creating jobs and prosperity for all Ontarians.”

The Conference Board of Canada rates Canada 14th out of 17 nations for innovation. Innovation is the ability to turn knowledge into new products and is the crucial factor that will allow Canada to compete in the global economy. “Canada is a resource-rich nation, including knowledge resources. We also have a rich history of innovation, especially in communications. Communications innovation helps refine knowledge resources, adding value for global export,” says Forbes. Coral CEA has assisted more than 50 companies to capitalize on innovation.

Ryerson University President Sheldon Levy became aware of Coral CEA and encouraged collaboration with the DMZ. In a recent speech Levy called on universities to better educate young people on how to create their own businesses and take their innovations to market. “Youth are the primary users of digital media but lack the skills to turn ideas into reality,” says Levy. He believes schools must to do three things

• Connect innovators to each other, and to business, at the earliest stages
• Teach innovators how to be their own bosses
• Support research that leads directly to markets and economic benefit

Coral CEA has also partnered with Ryerson in a first-ever study on innovation in Ontario. The research team of the Ontario Cross-Border Technology Innovation Ecosystem (OCTIE) released preliminary findings in October 2011 stating that the more entrepreneurs network, especially with social networking, the more investment money they acquire. “Socializing your ideas enables more focused targeting so that entrepreneurs align with capitalists that better understand their value – which results in better valuations. Social networking enables an entrepreneur to reach people they could not have by other means,” says Forbes.

“We need to embrace Open Innovation and collaboration,” says the study’s primary author Professor Wendy Cukier, Vice President of Research and Innovation at Ryerson University. “The DMZ at Ryerson fosters innovation with a lean methodology and small teams that are very focused on going to market. Ontario will see action from our collaboration with new jobs, companies and applications,” says Forbes.

About Coral CEA

Coral CEA is a not-for-profit Open Innovation Network composed of member companies and organizations focused on the commercialization of Communications Enabled Applications (CEAs). Coral CEA was founded by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation, Carleton University, IBM, GENBAND, Eclipse Foundation and ITAC. The mandate is to create sustainable companies and jobs by supporting members in the commercialization process of new products and services. This includes business development, distribution and brokering of alliance and capital relationships.

Jobdeals, SoJo and Tiny Hearts accelerate to success within university’s business incubator

Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone welcomed three new companies into its downtown hub in January 2012. The ventures include an award-winning designer of children’s apps, an online tool for social change and local service provider website. They join 28 other startups currently operating out of Ryerson University’s interdisciplinary workspace for digital thought leadership. Visit www.ryerson.ca/dmz to learn more about these teams and the Zone’s other entrepreneurs.

“We are proud to welcome these three groundbreaking young companies into our business incubator,” said Valerie Fox, Director of the Digital Media Zone. “By fostering these new ideas and connecting the entrepreneurs to helpful businesses and investors, the Zone is fulfilling its mission to build Canada’s digital innovation economy.”

Ryerson University alumnus Robert Platek used the skills he acquired studying for his Bachelor of Computer Engineering to help create Jobdeals.com. Functioning like an eBay® for local jobs, Jobdeals facilitates finding service providers online. Instead of digging through countless postings on sites like craigslist or Kijiji, users post the services they are seeking, such as tutoring, accounting or photographer services, on the website or mobile app. Jobdeals then notifies matching local businesses and professionals and invites them to submit a price quote for that job. With one click users can book an appointment with the service provider of their choice, after perusing respondents’ price, customer feedback and certifications. Jobdeals is a one-stop marketplace for local services, saving time and money for users.

SoJo, short for Social Journal, is an online learning tool that supports youth passionate about social change by providing them with the tools and informational resources necessary to take action and build social ventures. Currently in public beta form, SoJo focuses on the practical “how-to” of idea development and project execution, and on the personal growth of the individual behind the idea. By helping young people navigate the challenges of launching a social venture, the site enables them to focus their creative energies on working with their target to affect social change. Devised by Founder and CEO Kanika Gupta, SoJo is a pioneer and leading example of a product that bridges the gap between technology and social enterprise.

Founded by Robleh Jama, Tiny Hearts creates playful iOS apps, including the #1 Education App Pocket Zoo, a portable zoo for kids and nature lovers. Pocket Zoo ranked as a Top 50 overall (paid) app on the Apple App Store, has been featured in the New York Times and named a “must-have app” by Wired Magazine. Pocket Zoo has also won the Parents’ Choice Award (2011) and been named as App Star Awards runner-up (2010).

DMZ resident Adrian Bulzacki knows tech. As CEO of ARB Labs, currently housed at Ryerson’s Digital Media Zone, Adrian is well-versed in the latest trends in digital technology. With much of his holiday shopping already done, below are his tips for the best tech buys for your loved ones this holiday season.

Tech gifts for the young at heart:

For the young and the young at heart, Adrian recommends an intergalactic gift for the technophiles on your list: a flying UFO. Remote operated, the user can hover the UFO throughout the home. His favourite is the Air Hogs Vector Wave Battle which is available for less than 40 dollars at a wide variety of retailers including Toys R’ Us and Amazon.ca

A similar gift that continues to be popular over the last few years is the mini-helicopter. Helicopters available today are vastly improved from those of years passed. Remote-controlled helicopters that are the market today include features such as 3 channel directionality and can be charged via USB, eliminating the need for costly batteries. Many versions also include high tech extras such as dual cameras to show the user both the view ahead of the copter as well as the ground below. The best part? The user can watch the videos remotely on their i-phones. Mini-helicopters range in price, starting at $40 and can be purchased at retailers including Future Shop and Best Buy.

But why not go one step further? Bulzacki recommends that gift-buyers get more bang for their buck with the purchase of a quad-copter. With an extended range of features, including longer air time and smoother controls, quad-copters are the perfect gift for the true technophile on your list, pricing starts at $300.
For the gadget lover:

The latest in gadgets doesn’t necessarily mean toys – Bulzacki is a fan of the new vacuum beard trimmer from Philips. The built in vacuum means that there is no mess to clean up and the contour following makes the trimmer easy to use. The trimmer is available online at Philips.ca and at retailers such as Best Buy.

For those that like to keep their info close at hand, Bulzacki recommends the LaCie FastKey. The 3.0 USB key is nine times faster than a standard 2.0 USB – which means it is fastest enough to run the user’s entire operating system. The LaCie FastKey is available on line and at major tech retailers.
For the home:

For the home media center, Bulzacki says the Logitech K400 is a must. The wireless keyboard is multi-touch, has a great range, and a navigation touchpad. The keyboard can be used for both your home pc and your television and stands vertically to take up less space when it’s time to store it. The keyboard retails for approximately $50, retailers include Future Shop and Best Buy.

Another sure bet for technophiles is a netbook, a good choice is a small one with an AMD Fusion chip like the A4 or A6. They are available in the same price range as a notebook, but have two or four cores and a good-quality graphics card that can handle most graphics-intensive activities like playing HD content or light gaming.

When considering a computer like a netbook, a SSD(Solid State Disk) drive is key. They cost approximately $100 but make a huge performance difference on any low-cost computer.
