Meet The Team
GenYTO was formed in January 2009 by Erin Bury, Casie Stewart, Renee Warren, Daniel Patricio, and Dave Coleman. As a team, they have worked with many awesome members of the Toronto community, local start-ups, charity organizations and national companies.
ERIN BURY
Erin Bury is the Community Manager @Sprouter, an online collaboration tool for entrepreneurs. She’s a Tech writer for @BlogTO, #GenYTO co-founder and a TwestivalTO co-organizer. Erin is a self-professed geek who’s been quoted by the New York Times, Forbes, and CNN.
With a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, Erin helped grow Sprouter from an unknown Toronto-based startup to a globally recognized entrepreneurship brand - she’s had fun doing it too. Erin’s got a serious addiction to junk food, top 40 music, optimism and a serious aversion to winter, bad manners and improper grammar.
