🌟 A few weeks back, our investor Manpreet Deol joined an impressive lineup of industry leaders at Startup Canada's #StartupCanadaTour stop in Calgary. 🚀 Alongside Bontu Galataa, MBA, J. Mark (马克) Mitchell, James Lochrie, and Derek Armstrong, Manpreet discussed Funding Fundamentals for Startups. 👀 If you couldn’t join us, here are some highlights from the discussion: 🔹Identifying the right funding source is more than just securing capital. It's about aligning with investors who share your startup's vision and mission, ensuring both parties are on the same page for sustained growth. 🔹In the talk about super-founder qualities, the panel highlighted the need for ambition and clear, achievable goals. The importance of a dedicated and diverse team, unified in purpose and approach, was emphasized as crucial to realizing startup objectives. 🔹The discussion on fundraising stressed thorough preparation and intentionality. It's not a one-sided affair: both investors and founders should seek a partnership that extends beyond mere financing. Investors are on the lookout for startups with bold goals and a solid plan, while founders should prioritize investors who bring valuable insights and expertise to the table. #Tech #Financing #Growth #CompanyBuilders

More highlight-reel clips from our recent podcast with Christopher Robson 🎙 "treat fundraising like a sales process" 🌟 🌟 Focus on process over end goal and set daily fundraising goals based on things you can control 👊 An example being "connect with 3 investors each day" vs. "raise $1M this week". If you talk to enough QUALITY people and create a repeatable process, the end goal will come. #albertatech #fundraising #frostbite #podcast #founder #venturecapital Wyvern Weave VC Marco Donadeo Jeffrey Manner James Freeman, P.Eng.
