Tutela’s own Hunter MacDonald has joined BC Business’ 30 under 30 list. This list recognizes 30 young business leaders “who excel in their respective industries, give back to their community and planet and who will lead business in this province for years to come.” Although this achievement speaks for itself, here’s a little bit from BC Business describing how this award fell into Hunter’s hands:
“It all happened fast for Hunter MacDonald. He was finishing his undergrad in mechanical engineering at McGill University when he started volunteering with Ottawa-based venture capitalists Wesley Clover International Corp. After about six months he got a call from the firm one Friday and was told that if he could be in Victoria by Monday, he could start a company with its backing, under the tutelage of Ted Darcie in the Engineering Entrepreneurship@UVic program. He packed his bags and upon arrival launched a project aimed at helping wireless service providers monitor their networks’ performance. Two-and-a-half years later, Tutela Technologies has 10 employees and more than $1 million in funding.”
