The diversity of introductions you get as a #VC 🤣

[Saif Hashmi @SaifHashmii]

Absolutely thrilled to be leading this! We believe a resilient next generation of Canadian founders will emerge, as capital becomes scarce. We will see unit economics driven founders with better operational excellence building world-class companies. Let’s go!🇨🇦

.@BDC_Capital has recommitted to leading software startup seed deals with a new $50M CAD pan-Canadian fund and an eye on Atlantic Canada and the Prairies. VCs I spoke with applauded the move but also called for more emerging manager support. #VC #CDNtech https://t.co/HwqAIiIurs

@benjaminsehl I always have to try first b/c each brand has different fitting especially when they have S and XS. I think a good way could be giving a deep discount on your first purchase or some sort of ease of returning so that you can try their size without being fully invested.

[Saif Hashmi @SaifHashmii]

So many times!!!
