I'm so proud of what all our participants have achieved over the last 12 weeks and can't wait for them to share it with everyone! Come to @1rg.space on Thursday June 26th at 6pm to learn about their vision and optimism for what Toronto can be!
1RG@1rg.space · last yr.The 1RG incubator demo day is happening on June 26th! We spent 12 weeks co-creating with our innagural batch. There will be 6 projects at the intersection of community & technology, presented science-fair style. And delicious snacks. See you there https://lu.ma/1stma6ux
