My fav investor reaction so far: "Wow this could be huge, you guys are working on a billion dollar opportunity, but.. it has a lot of risk. This is high risk, high reward, I think you'll find it hard to attract investors, VC isn't set up for this kind of stuff"

We are in full support of #yegcc unanimous decision regarding the new Innovation Entity. This is just the start of a new chapter for our city, but the level of engagement and collaboration we've seen in recent months in this community gives us great hope for what's next! #yegtech

Was reading The Hard Thing About Hard Things by @bhorowitz and was relieved to learn I'm not the only one who faces WFIO (We're F*cked, It's Over) moments. As a first time founder it can be hard to know which problems are mission critical, and which only appear to be.

Reminds me of the IPO numbers leading up to the 2001 bubble pop...

Idea skepticism in a nutshell: (1) Yeah but have you heard of X company that's doing it? (2) What if Google/Amazon does it? (3) I wouldn't personally use it (4) Here's a history of everyone that failed (you will too) (5) It's a crowded space already Don't let it demoralize you.

Was great talking to so many young people interested in entrepreneurship.

Nice to see investors that realize the huge potential of OOH advertising with today's tech.

The road ahead. As our neighbours, these two are the undiscovered continents of our time. Moon and Mars are just around the corner. They keep important secrets for us and we can get there. Let's go! #Horizons

@Suhail @startupschool I've found the biggest differentiator between good structure and bad is how beauraucratic a program is. Waiting weeks to get requested support is a waste of time. Too many startup "accelerators" try and get startups to slow down to match the pace of a cohort.

With schools, blog posts, programs, & videos, people are overwhelmed & over think the starting part of a startup. Just get going & do it! When you run into a problem reference the resources & use your network to guide you to overcome it. The self-imposed structure is a crutch.

Execution is the only long-term moat. Everything else is just an obstacle, for a sufficiently determined competitor and valuable enough market. cc @andrewchen

@blaiseaguera @HumeKathryn I'm curious what the price difference will be between tpu vs cloud.

One of the cornerstones of privacy-preserving machine learning is the ability to run models on a chip in situ, such that the data don't need to go anywhere. Not all AI should run in the cloud! Proud our AI chip is now public: aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/edge-tpu #AIYProjects #EdgeTPU

@AmiiThinks @granify @gethendrix Once Alberta figures out venture capital I think the talent will finally get showcased.

This list of top Canadian #AI #startups may favour those in the east (for now!), but #Alberta's startup community is constantly growing! Case in point: innovation leaders like our friends at @granify (listed at no. 9) and @gethendrix buff.ly/2LDcFFD

Glad to see Alberta finally getting the love it deserves for its role in Canadian AI. twitter.com/AndrewArruda/s…

@Alberta_SCG I'm surprised dropping out is still considered a cliché. The overwhelming majority of successful startup founders are neither in their 20s nor dropouts.

Canadian entrepreneurs have the opportunity to create a global impact. #DMZReview dmz.to/canad29c46
