Quick answers
Did Daniel Simair co-found SkipTheDishes?
Yes. CBC News reported on 2016-12-15, the day Just Eat plc announced its 110 million dollar purchase, that "the company was founded in Saskatoon in 2013 by Joshua, Daniel and Chris Simair, Jeff Adamson and Andrew Chau." The University of Saskatchewan alumni page for Andrew Chau's 2024 Outstanding Impact Award (read 2026-10-24) says Chau "joined fellow USask alumni Jeff Adamson (BSA'08) and brothers Josh Simair (BComm'10), Dan Simair (BSc'05), and Chris Simair (BSc'09) in the venture." The Globe and Mail, also on 2016-12-15, said Josh Simair started the company "with four other Saskatchewan natives, including his two brothers" without naming them, and Winnipeg's The Uniter put brothers Chris and Dan on the early staff on 2013-01-23.
When was SkipTheDishes founded?
Sources differ by a year. The Globe and Mail (2016-12-15) said the fall of 2012, and University of Saskatchewan alumni news reported on 2012-12-06 that the service had its official launch in September 2012. CBC News (2016-12-15) wrote 2013. This directory uses 2012 for the company.

Has Daniel Simair spoken at TechTO?
No. SkipTheDishes connects to TechTO through two other people: Paul Burns, its chief executive since December 2023, who spoke at TechTO in August 2020 while managing director of Twitter Canada, and co-founder Andrew Chau, who presented Neo Financial in the 2021 Canadian Rocketship Companies session on 2021-06-23. Co-founders Josh Simair, Chris Simair and Jeff Adamson have directory profiles but no TechTO talks.
