Absolutely thrilled to be leading this! We believe a resilient next generation of Canadian founders will emerge, as capital becomes scarce. We will see unit economics driven founders with better operational excellence building world-class companies. Let’s go!🇨🇦

.@BDC_Capital has recommitted to leading software startup seed deals with a new $50M CAD pan-Canadian fund and an eye on Atlantic Canada and the Prairies. VCs I spoke with applauded the move but also called for more emerging manager support. #VC #CDNtech betakit.com/bdc-capital-re…

After 50+ hours of delays and cancellations, 15 hours on hold, we’re finally in Calgary, not sure how the trip to Toronto will go but I’m not counting on my bags coming home. #flightdelay #worsttravelseason

Extremely happy to have finished my first ever half-marathon. 🙏🏽 to @adheip3_142 and @ari__kat for pushing me to do this. #TCSToronto

Great end to trip surrounded pre-race by my favorite women (wife on the right and daughter on the left next to her friends). 1/2 marathon time 1:36:40 for me and 1:40:38 for wife (4th and 10th in respective age/gender groups out of 8,980 runners). Negative splits each 5k for me.

@benjaminsehl I always have to try first b/c each brand has different fitting especially when they have S and XS. I think a good way could be giving a deep discount on your first purchase or some sort of ease of returning so that you can try their size without being fully invested.

People always ask about the next big comp in 🇨🇦 like Shopify. Shopify is once a decade type company.
But on the horizon are:
1. @goclio - 150k+ lawyers
2. @thinkific - 50k+ creators
3. @GetJobber -100k+ professionals
4. @ApplyBoard
5. $LPSD
6. @SymendInc
