Interview with David Nault, new Entrepreneur-In-Residence at iNovia Capital. Early this week, iNovia Capital announced that experienced tech executive David Nault has joined the iNovia team, complementing the already excellent mix of talents in the firm. We all remember the Fund III announcement, and Chris Emergui has also been announced as a new partner, paving the way for a great year at iNovia Capital.

For tech entrepreneurs, Chris Arsenault’s blog post on how they crafted the position and how David Nault joined the team is a must-read. It shows how the firm works and the focus they put on talent. It’s not always about numbers! For me, it was also essential to know more about David, on a new position that not many VC firms in Canada have.

How to signup to join the Ebay Affiliate Partner Network | Computer Tips. eBay Affiliate Program Prohibits Sub-Affiliates and Ad Networks. eBay will no longer support affiliate traffic from tier-2 paid search, ad networks, and sub-affiliates. The eBay Partner Network will continue to allow publishers to source traffic to their own websites via those methods but are not allowing direct promotion of eBay through those models. eBay is banning those methods because, it said, "the quality of buyer traffic these business models have sent to eBay historically has not matched the high standards set by the rest of our affiliates.

" Any arrangement where publishers distribute their earnings from eBay Partner Network to other publishers is considered a sub-affiliate model and is disallowed. eBay said, "Like ad networks, this has been a model that required special permission until now but will no longer be allowed in eBay Partner Network.

Coop Ecto: le "co-working" pour briser l’isolement. La philosophie du co-working consiste à partager un espace de travail avec d’autres professionnels, dans un esprit d’ouverture et de collaboration. C’est ce qui fait la différence entre louer un bureau dans un centre d’affaires ou prendre part à la coopérative Ecto. « Tu engages un rapport humain avec les autres, ce n’est pas juste un rapport de consommation d’espace », affirme Yves Otis, président d’Ecto et cofondateur de Percolab, une entreprise spécialisée dans l’intégration de systèmes d'information pour la recherche et l'apprentissage.

La coopérative a ouvert ses portes en septembre 2009 sur la rue Roy, dans l’édifice de l’ancienne phonothèque. Elle compte aujourd’hui 30 membres de tous les milieux : intégrateur web, gestionnaire du domaine culturel, chargée de projet en communication, réviseur, écrivain, infographe, etc. Ecto ne se spécialise pas dans un domaine d’emplois, mais mise sur le partage des compétences entres les membres. Chez Ecto, il n’y a pas de cubicules. Coworking – It’s about the people. This blog post is part of a series about Coworking around North America & is sponsored by The Network Hub. To learn more about The Network Hub, visit www.thenetworkhub.ca. This is the second part of our series on the growing Coworking movement and some of the spaces that have embraced the philosophy, both locally and abroad.

The aim of the movement is to create a community of cafe-like collaboration spaces for developers, writers and independents. In 2008, Patrick Tanguay and Daniel Mireault noticed the lack of spaces that catered to its independent workers, freelancers and entrepreneurs. “We first started toying with the idea as we were both freelancing and were either working from home, at our clients’ or in cafes. We wanted our own place – a professional yet cozy place where we could work and be surrounded by like-minded individuals without feeling guilty of sipping our latte for 3 hours just to be able to use the local cafe's WIFI network.”
