"The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), the country’s largest early-stage tech investor and most active venture capital investor, says it is concerned about an apparent decline in the number of new startups founded in the country." buff.ly/2tJls19

"I've come to the conclusion that despite the potential, these new technologies are not yet ready to tackle societal problems on a large scale." buff.ly/2lyqYzR

"Everyone wants to be data-driven, but most startups don’t have the luxury of a team of data scientists." blog.usejournal.com/how-to-m…

One of our developers was out teaching middle schoolers about coding at #codefest this morning! Start ‘em young. 👨‍💻👩‍💻 – at Hamilton, Ontario

A10: For our team - integrity in our work, authenticity and honesty, and "go where no man has gone before" - all guide our days everyday. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A9: Being an entrepreneur isn't all good days. It will be isolating at times and difficult knowing how many people rely on you. Make sure that you have a solid support network and that you don't forget to take care of yourself. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A8: With entrepreneurship comes a responsibility to think about the quality of your product, the wellbeing of your team, and the future of your company and it's impact. Your commitments are to your clients, your employees, and to any other stakeholders. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A7: Well @Startup_Canada for starters startupcan.ca/our-work/newco…. NACO (@AngelCapCanada) offers resources: nacocanada.com/cpages/entrep…. The internet is always a very useful tool. And your network - ask around! Entrepreneurs LOVE helping others get started. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A6: Yes absolutely. Everyone will have some skills already & some they need to learn. Being introverted might mean that pitching and selling are learned skills that aren't necessarily comfortable at first. Being an entrepreneur IS being out of your comfort zone. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A5: Entrepreneurship is definitely a mix of both. You can learn the hard skills - leading, management, selling, etc, but to be a successful entrepreneur you must also be driven by your interests and vision. You can't really teach that! #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A4: Our team is made up of developers, designers, and product managers (to name a few), but we are ALL filled with the entrepreneurial spirit. We love solving problems. We love building the future. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A3: How to prioritize tasks (there will be a billion), how to think about the big picture, how to sell your vision, how to lead a team #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A2: Some telltale signs that you're a good fit to become an entrepreneur is that you love problem solving, you are a self starter, you like challenges, you know how to ask for help (trust us - this is important, you won't have all the answers), and you're adaptable. #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…

A1: Becoming a 'trep is hard work, but it's worth it if you have a passion and a vision for how to solve a problem that needs solving! #startupchats teapaw.org/Startup_Canada/status/…
