Ok so let me follow this logic - you buy the condo at the peak of the mkt in 2021for $650k, you try to game a down mkt by listing it for $599k &. go “no bid” so your response is to reprice it at a premium to your top of the mkt purchase price at $689K? Wow apple.news/A4UdxJrAxTky80…

Great Canadian founder moving to Austin! Anyone have advice on O1/visas?
So today, a second-time successful entrepreneur let me know he's left Canada taking the startup he's working on with him—the second one in as many days. We're losing the war for global entrepreneurial talent and winning the war for food delivery drivers. It isn't sustainable.

Wrong ... healthcare is NOT “federally procured but distributed provincially.” Healthcare is funded provincially & federally (transfer payments), Healthcare innovation is approved Federally (HPB) but procurement decisions are 100% provincial betakit.com/vantage-points… via @BetaKit
The really concerning stat for me is that foreign CVC engagement in CDN deals fell to 12% of deals, a 5 year low. This is in stark contrast to our experience in US LS deals where CVC engagement is way up. betakit.com/report-canadia… via @BetaKit

CVCA reports mixed Q1 results for Canadian VC funding as PE rebounds

As someone who manages other people’s capital for a living, these stories never fail to amaze. While I am sympathetic to those who lost “some or all of their life savings” I am uncertain that it is “trust” vs greed that drives these allocations globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281573…
