Set deadlines you're not sure you can hit. A 5-year timeline → brain never gets urgent. A 2-year deadline with 50% odds → forces ruthless prioritization. Your schedule expands to fill whatever window you give it. via @collision x @dwarkesh_sp's Cheeky Pint

Congrats to the @_hex_security team, @zer0day, @hzzzaifa and @menace_codes on their launch! Continuous, agent-driven security is quickly becoming necessary as attacks move to AI-speed. Proud to be early supporters at @NorthsideVC_

Y Combinator@ycombinator

.@_hex_security is building AI agents that hack your systems before real attackers do. In weeks, their agents uncovered critical flaws at dozens of unicorns, earning over $250K in bounties. Hex already protects companies processing billions in transactions and millions of user records. Congrats @zer0day, @menace_codes, and @hzzzaifa on the launch! ycombinator.com/launches/POq-h…

2026 is about showing up more in person and spending time with founders. We’re planning more dinners, Socratica Symposium, Toronto Tech Week, and other small, high-signal gatherings across Toronto, Waterloo, and beyond. This @wlootechweek workshop recap was just the beginning.

We’ve been quiet here for a while, but 2025 was our most active year since founding. We screened nearly 5,000 companies, met 500+ founders, invested $3M across 12 Canadian-founded teams, grew the firm, and launched our Scout Program. Full recap here: northsideventures.medium.com/2025-year-in-r…
