Such a great blog post which I suggest every founder read. So many golden nuggets in here. But one that stands out: What are some qualities that you see in the most successful founders? Well, I love smart people, with high IQs, and high EQs, that’s great. But, of the founders that I see, the highest correlation with success is with their grit quotient. They’re not necessarily the smartest people in the world, but their grit and determination are unbelievable. They never give up and always find a way to blast through any obstacle they face. It’s the mentality of “succeed or die” – it’s that kind of determination that wins. #gritcotient #grit #founder #highperformancemindset

Good Morning All - I’m thrilled to introduce this years C100 2024 #C100Growth and #C100Fellows cohorts! These companies, executives, and founders represent the next wave of Canadian tech opportunity, each poised to make a significant impact in their respective industries. This year we had an incredible applicant pool of hundreds to select from and were blessed to make tough incredible selections. The 12 companies joining our Growth Program exemplify the deep quality of Canadian tech and the incredible repeat innovation that Canada has to offer, with more than half of the leaders being serial entrepreneurs. The cohort comprises pioneers in B2B SaaS, fintech, health tech, cleantech, and AI. This years 26 early-stage companies showcase Canadian ingenuity, technological advancement, and a commitment to social impact - it's also the largest cohort ever – and is characterized by its diversity, spanning B2B SaaS, deep tech, health tech, fintech, legal tech, and more. Congratulations to all and welcome to the C100 family! #CdnTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship

I am thrilled to have given such an extensive interview to CanadianSME Small Business Magazine. Huge thanks to everyone involved! Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gWBm3zNa In the interview, I shared our mission, to empower small and medium businesses to leverage AI capabilities effectively. Here are the key takeaways: - Addressing Business Needs: AI can be both intriguing and intimidating. Handy.ai provides solutions that are predictable and well-integrated into business processes, connected to corporate software. - Task-Oriented Communication: AI must go beyond communication; it should resolve tasks and execute processes, to high-perform the business. - Ease of Implementation: Implementing AI should be as easy as building a website with a site builder, and managing it should be straightforward. That’s why Handy.ai is developing a low-touch approach that allows businesses’ to create and integrate AI Assistants with ease. Additionally, we are expanding partnerships, focusing on a no-code system. This enables businesses to quickly build smart and functional AI assistants with minimal training, ensuring they can harness AI effectively and efficiently. #handyAI

Eldon Sprickerhoff, one of Canada’s most successful tech entrepreneurs, who I have had the pleasure to work with at the Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, Toronto Metropolitan University, has written a superb book. I wish that I had read the book 25 years ago. Instead, one of my own books is titled “Power in Mistake”. https://lnkd.in/gRUQ5_t7 I highly recommend Eldon’s book to all tech entrepreneurs, not just first time entrepreneurs. You may pre-order it on Amazon: Committed: Startup Survival Tips and Uncommon Sense for First-Time Tech Founders https://a.co/d/dZDyKHt

Behind the scenes at #Elevate2024 - speaking at the biggest tech conference in Canada re: #VentureCapital investing in deep-tech. Joined by Janet Bannister (Staircase Ventures), Eva Lau (Two Small Fish Ventures), Chris Neumann (Panache Ventures), we covered: - what types of companies are exciting to VCs (hint: moonshots), - specialist vs. generalist VC funds (founders: while it’s wonderful to meet a specialist VC that knows your domain really well, that is currently the exception, not the norm - so the art of telling your story to a broader investor base is crucial) - how VCs construct their portfolio to meet LP expectations (as a founder, you need to understand what motivates the investors you’re interacting with) Glad Creative Destruction Lab assembled this epic panel on the Moonshots stage !
