&lt;p&gt;The team behind&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vanillaforums.com/&quot;&gt;Vanilla&lt;/a&gt;, are Canadian entrepreneurs Mark O'Sullivan and Todd Burry. The guys will be in Montreal this Thursday and they have agreed to&amp;nbsp;tell us a little about their experience at TechStars: what they've learned about turning a product into a business, how to approach investors and some insight into the value of belonging to the TechStars alumni community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are going to take this opportunity to have a &quot;Last drinks of Summer&quot; for the Montreal tech community. The event is open to anyone and is going to be held this Thursday, September 3rd at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://helm-mtl.ca/&quot;&gt;Helm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from 5pm-8pm.&lt;/p&gt;
