Kitchener-Waterloo Entrepreneurs on LinkedIn begins to take on Regional flavour

Charles Borras' LinkedIn group, Kitchener-Waterloo Entrepreneurs, has turned out to be the starting point in an expanding network of entrepreneurs in Southwestern Ontario, Canada with tentacles now reaching to U.S. border cities.

The nearly 1400-member Kitchener-Waterloo Entrepreneurs group on LinkedIn represents the cream of the crop of the entrepreneurial community of the Twin Cities.  All the major players in entrepreneurial activities in the area belong to the group and its membership continues to grow on a daily basis.  The London Entrepreneurs group is not far behind at nearly 800 members and also continues to grow.  Both the a Toronto and Guelph Entrepreneurs groups now have nearly 200 members each. 

Smaller cities in Southwestern Ontario are also part of this growing network.  How the network will continue to grow remains of interest to many observers.  The organization is unique in that it offers access to local entrepreneurs by other local entrepreneurs in their home town with the ability to access similar groups in other towns.

Mr. Borras is unaware of any other similiar entrepeneurs organization with this regional appeal.
