Satish Kanwar, Co-Founder | Jet Cooper

Mark has spearheaded efforts behind the lean startup community in Toronto with this group, continuously bringing forward high-quality events, discussions, and support systems to entrepreneurs in Toronto. He's the fire that keeps this going.

Aidan Nulman, Co-Founder & Partner | Isle of Code

There are a whole lot of people who work with technology in Toronto. Many of them are smart. A bunch of the smart ones work at BNOTIONS. I could talk about how Mark is intelligent, hardworking, and a whole bunch of traits you'd look for in someone that don't actually clearly differentiate them from others. Because technically, he has all of that. Mark Reale, however, is something more. He's an inspiration. Mark's creativity is boundless. He genuinely cares for everyone I've seen him interact with. He gives *way* more than he takes. He had the wherewithal to see that, several years ago, he was working a job he liked, but didn't love... and took the incredibly uncomfortable step of reinventing himself. He senses tension before anyone else, and manages to cut it before anyone notices. I repeat: Mark Reale is an inspiration to me. And every interaction I've had with him—both on professional and personal levels—has left me better than I was before.

Sare Kumagai, Student | Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology

Mark was my professor for web design at Seneca College. His classes were dynamic and exciting as he worked to inject life into his lectures. Because I was at a different stage than my classmates, he worked with me one on one to improve my website and gave me great ideas and feedback at all stages of the process.

INTERSECT

2017-05-16

Mark Reale, Director of Interface Development at Intersect, has very high hopes for these integrations. He wants to see Google Home become much like a real assistant and not just a virtual one. He believes that the mix of these integrations and artificial intelligence are going to help to support the peripheries of our lives. He’d like to see Google Home “integrate in the more mundane parts of our lives… when we are not even noticing, giving us things we need when we need them.”
