The glorification of violence is never acceptable in Canada – by any group or in any situation. I strongly condemn the demonstrations that have taken place, and are taking place, across the country in support of Hamas’ attacks on Israel. Let’s stand united against acts of terror.

Some takeaways from @CollisionHQ TO: 80% of shopping is still in retail, GenZ’s are craving authenticity & AI can’t replace that, sustainable futures rely on changing KPIs, even if your business is not serving consumers you need a human need & story investors/people can relate to

A couple takeaways about early stage funding from the @TiEVancouver event tonight: 1. The economy is correcting inflated valuations & lack of due diligence 2. Focus on fundamentals not just rev growth 3. Get $ where you can 4. Investors want founders who will learn & perform
