BREAKING! We’re beyond thrilled to announce the official trailer for the first-ever Canadian startup documentary film. This short film showcases the journey of some incredible founders and leaders... Come and partner with us! 🚀

@SheetalJaitly @TribalScale Incredible to see how far it has come! Been following since early days...

I started @TribalScale because I believed AI-first thinking belonged in the industries that actually run the world media, banking, travel, manufacturing. Ten years later, that conviction has never been stronger We're just getting started!!!!

Great reco for startup movies! youtube.com/watch?v=NeaHNQ…

@ammar_tsx Amazing reco! Haven't heard that one. Looks epic.

@FounderEric agreed, its pretty good. also Itaewon Class is also another banger kdrama if you're into someone building a brand from nothing

Korean Drama series the start-Up is a must-watch for founders! 😄 The drama between the co-founders and the sandbox startup accelerator makes it a five out five in the books. foundersbeta.com/inspiration/mo…

@aalamu_m Always a delight!

@FounderEric Thank you for sharing.

JUST IN ! $100,000 equity-free Global Startup Competition: fundingcake.com/directory-fund…

@faizan10114 Thanks so much! appreciate the note.

yes, that was a bit harsh on Chris's behalf. You are doing great work, I have been following you a for a bit. I even reference your site in some cases. But it did seem like an anamoly in the data. You could have clarified with a note, what the method for collection is and what counted as an accelerator. There are probably many venture-creators, thats are simply one person team, trying to help people get grants from the govt. You could have written a blogpost as to why that is the case. Its all good marketing.

Built a database to track startup programs for entrepreneurs across the world. It's free to use. Data shows Canada has the most number of startup programs vs venture creation. You can make whatever you can out of it but don't have to be jerk about it.

The struggle is real for founders in Canada! 😄

@skanwar @chrislevan @tarunsachdeva Would be beyond delighted to discuss with you @skanwar further when you get a chance as build up the site. ☕️ Can certainly improve as this is an open source project for the community. On the side note, personal attacks by Chris is just not cool.

@skanwar @chrislevan @tarunsachdeva The biggest difference is that SF and NYC have more VCs and that's the biggest factor. Not as many programs. Second point agree on that. It's all in the founders but there needs to a better support system here.

you can't just count coffeeshops with wifi as accelerators

@FounderEric @skanwar @chrislevan @tarunsachdeva Canadians love the idea of startups, but ask an average canadian do they want to invest in a startup or real estate they pick real estate. Our culture is more fiscally conservative; would rather a safe job with benefits than owning something themselves. No judgement just facts

@FounderEric Open Source is the way. It'll evolve. I take particular interest because something similar was on my list to build. I just didn't want to build it. Maybe partly because of this BS! 🤣 So I have empathy for what you're doing and what you're doing is needed. Keep building. 👏

@Cappy_Nate Thanks so much! Appreciate this. Planning to keep it open source. Monetization via ads and sponsorship.

@FounderEric Ya the initiative is great. The site design can be cleaned up, but you're building in public. The irony is half these marketing guys launch polished sites that do nothing. I won't pay for the site, but you gotta make money somehow. Monetization is always evolving.

@erik_sommerfeld Thanks Erik! Appreciate that

@FounderEric I liked the info. More venture dollars is a big thing in Canada. I had a call today with an investor who said Delaware flip immediately.

@FounderEric Ignore the noise and keep calling out the bullshit because they’re too soft to do so

@tarunsachdeva @skanwar @chrislevan Appreciate your kind note! 🙏🙏

@FounderEric @skanwar @chrislevan all good man, just having some laughs here, no ill will. respect for all your work

Always open to healthy debates about startups in Canada but no attacks. We are trying to do our part to do better. People that are staying here and doing something for the country are admirable. Every person is fighting a battle you don't know. May god bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

This one!

@skanwar @chrislevan @tarunsachdeva You guys make whatever you can out of it but the reality that can't be ignored is that Canada has the most number of startup programs but not much venture creation. Had over 10K+ folks who opened the list. May not be relevant to you @skanwar but it is for many.
