Finding a future for Venture Capital in this country
I wrote a guest piece for The Mark News this week, which was published today. I tried to look at some of the endemic problems which gave us our last swell of Venture Capital funds in Canada, why I thought they came in to being, and what might be next.
I also tried to spread the blame around a bit.
At the end of the day, those who hustle and build things that people want will win. It doesn’t matter what side of the table you are on, the rules are the same.
