The hardest things in life are contradictory — like confidence and humility. Growth and stability. Vision and the ability to listen.

@andrewchen Quick & dirty version of @boardyai?

the team built a way for founders and investors to get intro'd at Tech Week! Use it May 26 (today) to Jun 7 to meet connect try it here: intro.tech-week.com how it works: - Founders sign up and say what they're building - VCs hit the same link for investor access, then browse and reach out directly why? tens of thousands of people come to Tech Week every year to build, launch, hire, etc. ~30% of Tech Week attendees are founders. Many are building the next big thing. But since Tech Week is decentralized, there's been no central place for founders and VCs to find each other. So we build this tool, which is only available for two weeks only during Boston + NY Tech Week (from May 26-June 7) enjoy!

@kushalbyatnal What's old is new. I literally used to work for a company 18 years ago that did exactly this - just not for Agents. Actually useful!

Over 1 billion PDFs are created every day, but your agents still can’t read them reliably. Today we’re releasing Parse 2.0, the most accurate document parsing API in the world. Extend already processes millions of pages daily for leading AI teams like Brex, Mercury, Opendoor, Flatiron Health, and hundreds of others. Now, its even better. Parse 2.0 is SOTA quality on RealDoc-Bench, our open source benchmark that measures agent success rate on real world docs that agents actually encounter in production. We trained Parse 2.0 on 1M+ pages of the hardest documents seen in production. Here’s how it stacks up: - #1 in healthcare, real estate, logistics, and financial services - 95.7% agent Q&A accuracy on 581 docs (next best: 92%) - 0.847 F1 on layout (next best: 0.759) Give it a try today and build production-ready document agents with Extend.

Can someone explain the Palantir phenomenon in Japan? There's something to unpack here about fandom and distribution... I'm utterly fascinated - Why did people line up and wait for hours? - Why the sudden interest in Japan of all places? - Why did they even do a pop-up?

Nah, Toronto is caught up on that front. More likely to do with a sign of the times. Marketers/growth people seem much more disposable than PMs or engineers. Still. Our craft is less valued. So we don’t need to be educated, up-leveled, recruited or given networking opps. This is corporate thinking everywhere, not just here in canada.

@AmritaMathur People still think we need to build before selling it, SV does the opposite

Is it just me or does it feel cray there is hardly any focus on distribution at #TorontoTechWeek? Every event is "build Canada" or "AI this" and "Hackathon that".

@jackiechanisme We haven’t met (yet)! I guess I’d be in the ‘service provider’ camp these days. Surprised to hear you haven’t met any (non-founder) operators though 🤔

Everyone I met during Toronto tech week today so far has been: -Early stage founders -Investors -Service providers Which one are you?

That cheeky 😈 ElevenLabs and Vapi ship sub-second latency, good turn-taking, and persona consistency out of the box now. So perhaps the tech is interchangeable and not unique. But I do love the double opt-in! I’m excited to see if the intro quality holds as y’all scale beyond the seeded core.

@AmritaMathur Honestly, he won’t even tell me!

Holy shit @boardyai’s voice agent was so f-ing good. Super conversational, no weird lags, even made jokes! The Australian accent was “charming”. I’ve been bullish on voice for a long time (since 2016!) and this was genuinely the second good experience I’ve had.

@jacobmparis lol good one. I meant more like validation, positioning, marketing, growth stuff

@AmritaMathur Toronto already solved distribution, tech flows straight through Waterloo to SF

@DamiDina Brain drain is hella real. Speaking as someone that has been living here but working for US companies since 2019. One doesn’t have to physically move to count that as being a non contributor to their country (beyond taxes).

torontonian / canadian tech scene be like: - we are like last in developed world with ai adoption and innovation - we have no innovative companies - brain drain is the worst and it is affecting our economics but let's ignore all that and pat each other on the back lmao

@willpate Peak Toronto! 😆 Though Drake wouldn’t let a bot be a bouncer. Those guys need to learn to be cool…

Getting denied entry to the Cohere party because being a bootstrapped solo founder isn’t cool is actually funny and classic Toronto.

@FKNmemecoin I don’t think so. They just forgot about us marketers. (Historically this event has been founder, engineering and PM focused).

@AmritaMathur Performative, thats why...

@Cyberhorsey @HaiderMakess This is why I’m back on twitter. This level of sassiness ;)

@HaiderMakess maybe you should have spent 20 mins validating this idea eh

the worst feeling in SaaS spending 6 months building launching to silence knowing you could have validated the idea in 20 minutes findmeidea- find real demand before you build

@DanTAhn @garrytan @scottmartinis The best one-line explanation

@garrytan @scottmartinis X is more entrepreneurial. LinkedIn’s is more 9-5. Most Enterprise buyers are 9-5.

@tobi For the first time in a long time, it feels like the best place to build and grow.

This is a going to be a great week in Toronto! torontotechweek.com

@alexandernorman Real war stories and how-we-did-this would be great. There are many forums for this in the US, and vertical ones in Canada. But typically it’s the same peeps/ voices. More community upvoted could be really cool. (I’ll share more thoughts after TTW’26. Thx for listening!)

@AmritaMathur Team willl do another round of accepts later today. Let us know what you would like to see next year.

@alexandernorman That’s a good one. Signed up for it and still on the waitlist. We need more though. Next year, I’ll come armed with ideas and execution 👋🏽

@AmritaMathur We just had a founder dinner and this was the main discussion. We have a revops dinner coming up. Check it out here: techto.org/event/the-quie…

@pxue Thanks! This is close. Signed up for the waitlist.

@AmritaMathur i'm doing a workshop preparty here luma.com/jo6qxvwm?tk=Xx…

@hellofrommarv Exactly. And like there’s nothing. Nada.

@AmritaMathur More importantly a lack of “how do distribute through the noise”
