Tobi never fails to ground people.
Last week at Homecoming for TTW, he spoke about the rise of the one person company.
What's discussed less is whether maximizing efficiency should be the only goal.
The best companies aren't just products. They're groups of people solving hard problems together.
Technology may let us build with fewer people, but that doesn't necessarily make it better.
TTW is still on my mind I’m thinking about what comes next for Canada as this compression point launches us into the future 🍁 Pulled together some of my thoughts from the week

Happy TTW to all those who celebrate 🥳
World-changing companies can and are built, scaled and led from here.
There has never been a better time to bet bolder and build and invest in Canada.
overheard at @stripe design event “being a product designer is like being a city planner, you have a city where people build homes and buildings in”
best metaphor
Stepped in to moderate a Women in AI panel with @Georgian_io & @waterloovg with 2 mins notice and no questions prepped. Had the most fun at an event I’ve had for months.
This energy going into TTW >>>
Have the day off thanks to EY’s elite extra-long weekends, so naturally already thinking abt Toronto Tech Week

Untraditional backgrounds breed untraditional paths. Strongly believe this nurtures resilience and an innovative spirit. There’s power in not being boxed into one lane forever and feeling comfortable testing uncertainty.
Can’t believe it’s 3 weeks till @TOtechweek 🤩 Our team has been working SO hard behind the scenes.
You know I couldn’t resist an opportunity to bring together the Women in VC community alongside @waterloovg
Break in, get curious, and celebrate 🥳
