Really fun profile from Evan. @bwertz & @angelatytran fight relentlessly for founders because they know what it takes to build. That’s obvious if you’ve ever worked with them. The story of how they became partners - less obvious. Two amazing people I’m lucky to call friends.
New on The Hard Part: The Underdog for Underdogs A long-form profile on Boris Wertz (@bwertz), Angela Tran (@angelatytran), and Version One Ventures (@VersionOneVC). I spent the last couple of months reporting this, speaking with founders, co-investors, LPs, and people close
Being the best in the world requires hard work. No matter what your craft, understand there are no shortcuts.
Paul Skenes does this entire routine every bullpen day 😳
@ankurnagpal So you’re saying this could work in Canada…🤔
@TaliaGold @evernote @bendingspoons Not just consumer and prosumer with a lot of bloat. The same acquire -> headcount ⬇️ -> product focus ⬆️ -> revenue, profit ⬆️ is happening with SaaS. Bending Spoons focus on consumer and prosumer is smart though, historically less attractive target...

Enter Bending Spoons. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, this sets a strong tone for the type of company they're building and how they succeed.
Tough beat for @internetvin. Hearing he was runner up headliner.
#NEW: Justin Trudeau’s son, Xav, set to headline Ottawa’s Shawarma Fest tomorrow.

This is everything I need to know about Canada’s national AI strategy.
@hunkybill builder == anyone using tokens Want to train Canadians on AI? Give them tokens. Want to build great AI companies? Give them tokens. Want to bring Canadian oligopolies into the AI future? Give them tokens. Want to support indigenous leadership in AI? Give them tokens.
@hunkybill Can you share more about why that’s a fantasy for the Ministry of AI?
@hunkybill (1) Every dollar goes to building compute (2) Every token goes to productive Canadians, ie builders (3) No slush funds* *Slush funds are any dollar not directly attributed to (1) or (2)
Every Canadian should read this. No politics, no opinions. These are the facts of lived experience.
