<br>What makes FD different?<br><ul><li><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>High Quality</b>: each member is carefully screened for quality and readiness - no recruiters or smarmy sales pitches. Identities are confidential, but the community includes former founders and early employees from Stackmob, Gilt, Twitter, Loggly and Facebook, to name a few. There are numerous serial entrepreneurs with exits under their belts.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>Balanced</b>: the community is strictly 50% engineering and 50% non-engineering.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>Global Reach:</b> <span style="font-size:10pt">FD’s online network allows you to connect with people across 24 cities for access to the best entrepreneurial resources </span>without the barriers of a local meetup. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>No Idea Necessary</b>: Just be ready to work on a serious side project.</span> </li></ul><div>Toronto's community is one of the largest in the network and members love it. We've had three confirmed successful pairings to date in Toronto:</div>
