Replying to @nectarios @MaverixPe
Mark is a great Canadian legend and long-time friend. We are lucky to learn from one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time.

Turbopuffer co-founder Simon Eskilsen has some spicy takes: -“the AI funding program is a joke, no one can rely on it.” -“I couldn’t care less about Canadian VCs…. If you take only Canadian VC right now, probably NGMI” ...

Turbopuffer is “by far the biggest company by revenue that’s ever come out of Shopify.” “Canadian startups do not compound, and the reason that they do not compound is because it’s high status in Canada to retire to the cottage” love the directness!

The Turbopuffer story (raising less than US $1m and reaching revenues of $100m) shows how silly it is for governments to try to pick winners right now, someone in Canada is working on the Next Big Thing and it's impossible to say who

Turbopuffer is old news for anyone who follows Fahd! theglobeandmail.com/business…

Inside the fastest-growing Canadian AI startup you’ve never heard of

29-year old Canadian entrepreneur @goswish has co-founded two companies (Dunk, Surf) and written a book. Now he's onto BrokerPlus, serving mortgage brokers, plus angel investing. "Nowadays, it's a lot more around focus." More from @StacyLeeKong: begiant.ca/stories/people/sw…

Swish Goswami has been building companies since he was a teen. Now he’s ready to grow up

At 29, he’s again a founder, newly an angel investor – and changing his approach

The best way to understand Cohere is to follow its equivalent in France, Mistral: they have been more transparent about their pivot to being service providers (they even use other firms' open-source LLMs) Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez was an angel investor in Mistral!
