Hi
Sprint Studio is ready to roll. Can’t wait to support these entrepreneurs, and help them accelerate their progress. Thanks to the City of Toronto for the continuing support!
It’s holiday time! Whether it’s Easter, Passover, Eid, another or just a break, hope you can/did include some time with family and friends.


All the best, 


Chris Bentley
Managing Director

2. What is the best advice you have ever received?

Give your best effort to make something successful and find comfort in [the knowledge] you did your best. Don’t tie yourself to a specific outcome, and don’t let setbacks discourage you.


3. If you could have dinner with any innovator or entrepreneur (past or present), who would it be and why?

Steve Jobs — to learn how he crafted a brand with such precision and how he made design and user experience a core part of business strategy.


4. What’s a book, podcast, or resource that has influenced you the most?

"The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries — it shaped how I approach product development, experimentation, and scaling.

Spending time with my family helps me completely disconnect from everything else and just be present with them. It’s the best way to recharge.
