@build_canada Hey builders! Come talk to me at @OMERSVentures we are investing in series A-C Canadian companies.

🎧 New podcast episode just dropped. @RyanZauk is joined by @PayPal CEO @Acce to talk all things Agentic Commerce, Stablecoins, AI, and what it takes to transform a tech giant. Since becoming CEO in 2023, Alex has reshaped PayPal by bringing in new talent, speeding up product cycles, and leaning into AI, stablecoins, and next-gen commerce. His vision is bold. Listen in: thisweekinfintech.com/paypal-preside… #fintech #paypal #twifpodcast #payments #AI #stablecoins

@mimurchison @FidlerSanja @RaquelUrtasun Fantastic panel!

Evals are to agents what world simulation is to physical robots. Great spending time with @FidlerSanja and @RaquelUrtasun at homecoming

Thanks @Float! Rescuing us from expense reporting and this heat during #torontotechweek

Thanks @bayareawriter for covering Octaura's funding round. "The company’s digital platform launched in 2023, allowing traders to buy and sell loans and CLOs “more easily,”  something that hadn’t been available to the market before, according to Brian Bejile, CEO of Octaura.

@PrashantMatta @OMERSVentures @PanacheVC Great to co-chair with you Prashant!

Honoured to co-chair and open the #cixsummit with ⁦@LauraLenz⁩ ⁦@OMERSVentures⁩ ⁦@PanacheVC⁩ 🇨🇦 Canadian founders and investors - it is time to be bold, it is time to show Panache 😂🇨🇦🚀

It's time to lean into supporting our thriving startup scene. Time to cheer a little louder. A little more often. I hope to see you all at the Summit as we show the world our support for our best builders.

I've never subscribed to this Canadian 'lack of ambition' narrative. The founders being recognized at this year's #CIXSummit are a small sample of the incredible companies being built by exceptional talent in this country. If anything, our Canadian humility is the problem.

Proud to be a co-chair of the #CIXSummit again this year, alongside @PrashantMatta / @PanacheVC. Drop a comment if you're planning to attend. @CIXCommunity @ElevateTechCA

@twifintech @NikMilanovic Thanks for hosting a great event! We hope to see TWIF in Canada more in 2025!

What a way to kick off our first fintech meet-up in Toronto🇨🇦. Thank you to everyone who joined us. It’s always exciting to see how fintech brings people together, and Toronto showed up! #ThisWeekinFintech #TorontoFintech #FintechCommunity

Riding the #TTC this morning? You might have seen my son and me, wearing our capes to raise awareness for @HBKidsHospital. It's #CapesforKids week - every dollar raised supports kids with disabilities. fundraise.capesforkids.ca/capes2025/laur…

Ain't no party like a @twifintech party, hosted by our @RyanZauk.

This is another example of Canada standing up above the rest as a leader that we can do fintech better, and we have talented ambitious founders building solutions for a more successful future for all of us. Period. @OneVest @SalesforceVC

At the @Raptors game tonight. Hearing the words to our National Anthem sung by the crowd, “glorious and free”, couldn’t help to cheer for that line. Let’s not take that for granted - we are a glorious country and we have so many freedoms. Time to come together!

Not all super heroes wear capes. But this one does. Very proud of my son, Nolen, heading up this years Capes for Kids campaign. #proudmommoment

It’s always exciting to meet an ambitious founder. And it is extra special when that founder is building a business to help Canadian businesses grow faster and be competitive on a global stage. Congratulations @Float on your series B raise! omersventures.com/news/helping-c…

@jijojohnz DMs are open. As is my email - llenz@omersventures.com

@LauraLenz How can founders reachout to you ?. whats the best way ?.

We closed our second investment in a Canadian company this week. Feels great to be backing ambitious Canadian founders! More details to come (likely in the new year).

If you're a #founder in #fintech or #commercetech and are thinking of fundraising - apply to come on The Green Room this week. I'll be advising founders on how to craft the perfect pitch. pitchtgr.com

A preview of what's coming hot off the presses next week from @RyanZauk and @tryramp Head of Engineering @koblovinamerica 👀 👉Check it out on December 4th, only at thisweekinfintech.com/tag/podcast
