I believe I once had this working for @cplant and we created a funny sign for him "No New Ideas" to give us space until we had at least a couple weeks on the first batch. Now I'm probably the same and have to hold back to focus. #Entrepreneurs with too many ideas need to #focus.

@dbtoncic @uCloudify You made me laugh. Maybe it is a trick question. But really....isn't it hard enough for a #startup #Entrepreneur to figure out what a #VentureCapital firm wants without resorting to trick questions.

A #VentureCapital person asked a #startup CEO I know how he would get to a valuation of $20b. Stupid question. Only 15 Unicorns out of over 1,000 have that sort of valuation. Asking stupid questions like that just confuses a #startup #Entrepreneur

Trying to figure out if I should reengage with #Twitter. What do you want to bet that no one noticed I was gone.

New podcast just dropped! Tune into the latest episode of #WaterlooGrit to hear Jay Krishnan and @cplant, Founder and Managing Director of The Narwhal Project discuss all things startups! #podcast #startups #venturecapital #goingglobal acceleratorcentre.com/resources/podc…

I've heard many founders who set out to raise a seed round ask how much capital they should raise. I figured I could check the data to help them understand what others are raising and how their situation might compare. narwhalproject.org/entrepreneursh…
