In this episode of the Startup Talk Podcast, we were joined by Matthew Lombardi, Managing Director of OneEleven, a 55,000 square foot facility in the heart of downtown Toronto that provides open concept seating and private offices for growing technology companies.

Matthew began by sharing the history and mission of OneEleven, which is to support rapidly scaling technology companies by providing state-of-the-art facilities, programming, and a support network. He discussed how OneEleven’s open concept seating and private office spaces help companies grow with them, with month-to-month leases and secure, turnkey infrastructure.

Matthew then walked us through some of the state-of-the-art facilities and amenities offered at OneEleven, including 60+ meeting rooms, event space, podcast studios, a parenting room, secure bike storage, and a wellness, faith and meditation space. He also emphasized the importance of work-life balance and the facilities and amenities provided to support it.

Matthew also discussed the talent upskilling program offered at OneEleven, which focuses on four areas: marketing, customer success, product, and leadership. This program allows OneEleven companies to get the most out of their talent and ensure that emerging people managers are growing and learning as fast as their companies are scaling.

He highlighted the key partnerships and collaborations that OneEleven has formed and the role of OneEleven in promoting the Toronto startup ecosystem to a global audience.

Introduction of guest, Alexandra Kapelos-Peters, founder of Cansulta

Explanation of what Cansulta is and how it differs from other consulting platforms on the market



We’re AirBNB + Match + Upwork + Etsy combined for consulting—an online platform for businesses to access the expertise of vetted professionals, easily & affordably. We’re consulting for the modern era 😉

How we’re different: 



Everyone is vetted; we accept 20% of applicants

Consultants set their own prices & can make custom offers

No hidden fees, no overhead

Flexible! Collaborate as-needed: by the hour, task, project, team.





Our Benefits page (https://www.cansulta.com/benefits/) explains more about how we’re different 





Discussion on the inspiration behind starting Cansulta and the problem it solves

Every business deserves to benefit from the transformative impacts of great strategy, direction, advice, and consulting from reliable experts and those who have “been there, done that”

Cansulta bridges that gap, provides access, makes it easy & affordable to get support





Walkthrough of the process of finding and booking a consultation on Cansulta



Our “How it Works” page explains the simple steps for clients and consultants to work together: https://www.cansulta.com/how-it-works/ 





Information on how experts on the platform are vetted and qualified



It’s an intense process, arguably as rigorous or more than securing a full-time position! Steps include: resume screening, recorded video interview, Case Study with live presentation, references from previous clients, legal/financial compliance.





Sharing of success stories of clients who have used Cansulta to solve a problem or grow their business

Explanation of the benefits for independent consultants who use the platform



We handle the “front end” (sales & marketing) and the “back end” (billing & payme...
