Canada’s at an inflection point.
At #NACOSummit in Ottawa, our CEO @dburgar.bsky.social called it out:
We need to be less Canadian in our mindset.
More bold. More global. More urgent.
The world isn’t waiting — and neither should we.
Let’s build like the future depends on it.

Most MPs, other Canadian politicians, only know about venture capital. Need to make them aware of angels. @AngelCapCanada #NACOSummit
From @AngelCapCanada, 3000 members across the country, likely only 10-20% of angels in Canada #NACOSummit

“The best entrepreneurs don’t need you” @ddebow - top funds / institutional angel are cherry picking from the ecosystem #NACOSummit
Still a fan of syndicates & AL still has the best platform. Wrote about it Jan 2014 http://startupnorth.ca/2014/01/21/syndicating-canada/ - Canada needs this #NACOSummit
. @ddebow talking up @AngelList syndicates at #NACOSummit - not yet legal in Canada of course
Awesome to have @kvanessaagrant as part of #NACOSummit sharing her legal knowledge & expertise in deals & term sheets workshops
I’m back from my trip to Quebec attending #NACOSummit - inspired to expand @OpenAngelCanada. Companies, apply at http://openangel.ca/apply
