Really great talk today @TechTO (and great speakers) on the Canadian tech ecosystem. One thing I love about the Canadian tech group is how supportive it is and how we work together to improve the ecosystem. And I have no doubt that it will continue to grow because of this.

I get the benefit but I have a healthy level of scepticism after reading A History of the United States in Five Crashes and knowing human nature’s ability to take a financial instrument and corrupt it. So I continue to watch this space...

There is a lot of talk about #SPACs these days, especially in #proptech: the SPAC/Porch merger; SPAC/Opendoor merger; Tishman’s new $300m SPAC for proptech deals; and Softbank’s announcement to set up a new SPAC.

A good post on who you are doing things for, for those just starting out in their careers, or perhaps good for anyone :) My fav quote: "You can’t live your life for the recognition of people who will never see you" https://t.co/BNJsw8QMxn

This is more related to consumer tech investing but it's an interesting article - The Dumb Idea Paradox: Why great ideas often start out by sounding dumb. https://t.co/gwJg9Gzogi

Great Women in PropTech Toronto event this morning. Thanks for everyone that came out! #proptech

Back to #collisionconf. Great day yesterday, especially love hearing from Tobias Lutke from @Shopify. The company is such an inspiration, not only because it's a great Canadian success story but because of its mission to help small businesses.

"In the venture community today, we reward “visionaries” much more than executors." Interesting perspective on why not to meet start-ups in person https://t.co/oOCCA1b9YB

In my recent blog about founder traits, I mention the importance of being able to sell. That includes showing up to a meeting very prepared! It gives me confidence when a founder knows who they are meeting and what their meeting goals are. https://t.co/PAQLQsFiOq
