Pursuit OCR an indoor obstacle course startup, opened last October with the help of $31,000 in Indiegogo contributions. It's the first place of its kind in Toronto: an adult-sized fitness playground with 19 obstacles that visitors can clamber o we, under and through — including the city's only all ages ball pit.

Leading Canadian designer, Jenny Bird, creates modern jewels for the modern woman. The brand has seen significant growth since its launch in 2008, which is due, not only to her innate ability to know what we will want to wear next season, but also due to her discerning eye for quality. The spirited, cool, and approachable nature of her pieces has attracted a loyal band of followers; birdgirls, fashion insiders, and celebrities, alike, flock to her line season after season. Sold in over 600 leading retailers worldwide, Jenny Bird has quickly become an internationally recognized contemporary jewellery brand. @_jennybird #startuphereTO #Toronto #girlboss #founder #fashion A video posted by Startup Here Toronto (@startuphereto) on Sep 7, 2016 at 9:45am PDT

Lower rents and uncommon architectural stock are drawing entrepreneurs to Corktown, on downtown Toronto’s eastern fringes. For years, the turbocharged growth of the city’s downtown bypassed the area. Empty storefronts outnumbered its well-preserved 19th-century rowhouses, the remnants of working class Irish-Catholic immigrants who provided Corktown’s name. Public housing in the neighborhood’s Regent Park also seemed to inhibit newcomers. But as condos sprout on Corktown’s edges, small businesses are setting up along the main roads, King and Queen Streets. Corktown remains one of downtown’s quieter quarters, but the buzz around this historic patch keeps growing. #startuphereTO #Toronto #Corktown #TorontoLife #TOWRcorridor #YYZ A photo posted by Startup Here Toronto (@startuphereto) on Sep 8, 2016 at 6:20am PDT

Toronto cowork space repost via @eastroom Say hello to #EastRoomMember Panos Katsigiannis! What does this city need? Other than better drivers, this city needs its people to really understand how amazing it is, and how strong and full of entrepreneurial fortitude we are. We’re a city that makes incredible contributions to global progress and we need to feel that and believe it. This city is built to grow right now, and has been undervalued for decades! It’s in need of a serious push to a global market reach on every scale.
