We talked with Matt Stefan, the new Executive Director of Co.Labs, Saskatoon’s tech incubator.
In under four years, Co.Labs has already left a lasting legacy on the Saskatchewan tech community, thanks in no small part to its recently departed co-founders Jordan Dutchak and Alex Shimla.
“That’s really exciting to me. That you sort of have this moment where the stars are aligning, where there’s been all this uphill battle to get Co.Labs and the tech scene to where it is today. Where people are focusing on it, and we have all these elements that they don’t have in larger centres, where we’re not fractured.”
— Matt Stefan
They’ve left two pairs of big shoes to fill, and if anybody is up to the task, it’s Matt Stefan. A Saskatchewan native, Matt is returning to the province from the Toronto tech scene to lead Co.Labs into its next chapter.
We talked with Matt about making the move back to his home province and his vision for Co.Labs moving forward.
