Published: 11 September 2024

In Canada, ice time is at a premium and the nearest rink might not be able to accommodate your beer league team. But in large cities, there鈥檚 often ice available somewhere, and Jonathan Azouri (BCom鈥16) spotted an opportunity. The co-founder and CEO of CatchCorner by Sports Illustrated, an app that allows users to book sports facilities, launched it in Toronto in 2019 and is now making it available in markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston. Recently named to Forbes 30 under 30 list, Azouri credits networking with helping establish the app and emphasizes the importance of staying in touch. 鈥淎 common misstep when it comes to networking is not following up,鈥 he says. 鈥淵ou meet someone at an event, have a great conversation, and then鈥 nothing. Following up, even just with a quick message, can go a long way in keeping the connection alive.
