This is so sad; and going to be devastating for Canada long term. For all the years I promoted Canadian tech & Ai domestically and externally, I can say that the 5 things we did wrong as a country were: (a) VC system subsidized by federal govt, which is men only club and subsidizes VC partners, not startups; (b) no grant money; (c) no federal support for startups or even to groups that try to make ecosystems to foster entrepreneurship; (d) funding a cluster concept instead of talented startups where money was available only in certain areas in a few cities which went against the natural flow of talent and growth of innovation like cleantech for Vancouver and AI for Montreal, when most of that talent was in Ontario. And (5), no investment in researching future trends and technology changes to make sure Canada is keeping up and supporting future tech so that we are leaders and not followers. I always thought Canada should put out an annual paper on tech and it’s future so we have a vision for the future as a country. Not too late Canada!!
