Building while you're learning > learning before you build.

Pulse check: BetaKit Town Hall attendees discuss the state of Canadian tech and where it needs to go. #CDNtech #BKtownhall

"A love letter to entrepreneurs" — that's how @tobi describes Shopify. He believes storytelling is a superpower: “software” we write to paint a picture for the future that inspires & creates. What's the tech community’s love letter to future 🇨🇦? One that has “gone for gold”?

@1vnzh @aliasaria @tobi @skanwar And, finally: “Let's be Canada” - @tobi We don't need to try and be more like any country except the best version of us. We must create the best Canada we possibly can. Let's go! 🇨🇦🚀

@1vnzh @aliasaria @tobi #6 Be Courageous: To go for gold, we need to celebrate the entrepreneur, inclusive of failure - @tobi “Because failure means you went for gold” - @skanwar

@1vnzh @aliasaria #5 Be Ambitious: We need to go for gold. That means promoting ourselves, selling and exporting world-class products globally - @tobi

@1vnzh @aliasaria #4 Be Visible For Our Young Entrepreneurs: If we want young kids to stay in Canada, "show up for us" -Jocelyne Murphy. We need to be in offices, coworking spaces, & the places they gather. We need to make it the best social environment for young people who want to stay here.

@1vnzh #3 Foster Entrepreneurial Spirit: The tech ecosystem rallied together around one simple thing (i.e. capital gains tax changes) & we should continue to foster the spirit of builders. That spirit wants to create massive and impactful companies - @aliasaria

#2 Build Our Pros List: 'It's hard to be in Canada if you want to be the best at something" - @1vnzh We need to ensure there are challenging opportunities for the brightest minds to keep working on.

#1 Improve Choice & Competition: We need to let entrepreneurs, especially in our healthcare ecosystem, choose their tools freely. Fixing procurement is central to this - Joella Almeida

In Canada, we are playing too small. We have to reach higher. That was my overwhelming takeaway from the @BetaKit Town Hall that brought together Canadian founders and leaders from across the tech ecosystem. 🧵The world needs more Canada and here are 6 clear ways forward:
