Robin Ahn is Operations and Community Manager for Flow Ventures, a startup accelerator in Montreal. As an instigator on startupdrinks.ca and Montreal curator on events email list "The Startup Digest", it's her pleasure to be implicated across the local startup scene. Robin loves to find potential and has turned introductions into an unofficial hobby. She would love it if someone would do her the good turn of introducing her Jessica Livingston (Partner, Y Combinator). Robin also hates writing about herself, especially in the third person.
