Colare is excited to bring the best of hardtech founders and VCs together for a closed panel+mixer event focused on how to scale some of the biggest innovations of our future.

From robotics to space, we’ll tackle what it really takes to go from duct-tape prototype to production runs, and the teams behind it.

[Douglas Tr0n Soltys @tron]

Only one-third of “high-potential startups” created in 2024 are still headquartered in Canada in 2025. Half of those companies have fled to the US.

The data is bad, but numbers don't tell the whole story. So I spoke with a founder who is living that story.

Nain Abdi (@nain_abdi) is the incredibly charismatic and energetic co-founder of @colareai. He was frank about what pulled his company south, why his peers are eager to make a similar leap, and what (if anything) could convince him to return to Canada.

I strongly encourage everyone in #CDNtech to pay close attention to how Nain describes the way young founders are treated in Canada vs. the Valley.

On The BetaKit Podcast, @colareai’s @nain_abdi explains young Canadian founders' "Valley or Bust" mentality

🎙️ He contrasts how quickly SF embraced him with how Canada treated him and shares why he went to SF, and what (if anything) could draw him back

@upen946 You wouldn't hire a pilot without seeing them fly. https://t.co/phUNfwkLG9

@denicmarko You wouldn't hire a pilot without seeing them fly. So why is the standard so much lower for the engineers building our physical future? https://t.co/phUNfwkLG9
