Dear Canadian founders, your time is now!
There’s a tired talk track in the Canadian startup ecosystem that somehow our system here is broken. That you, as founders, aren’t ambitious enough, that we, as VCs aren’t fast enough, that our government is too involved… and that overall, our inability to generate the scale of successes that Silicon Valley does is entirely a result of poor decisions we continue to make.
The world is taking notice of you, and outsiders are coming to Canada to fund your ideas.
I like to think of the Canadian ecosystem as an analogy to a child growing up. We’ve reached our early twenties, and we’ve taken our own path to get there. We’re through the awkward teenager years, we are starting to feel a bit more confident about what we have to offer the world, but we’re still early on life’s journey with so much potential ahead.
