I'm completely broken today. I could barely look at my kid in the morning without welling up. If the targeted murder of 8 Asian women doesn't evoke rage in you, maybe we aren't alike after all. The media will ignore this as they have ignored all Asian hate crimes in the past yr
Wake up... your Asian friends and family are deeply scared, horrified, sick to their stomachs and wildly angry. Please please please check in on us, please please please stand with us. Please. Your Asian friend needs you, even if they aren’t publicly grieving on social media. x

3/ I fucking hate this "Silicon Valley North" BS. We are not that. There is one Silicon Valley in the world. It's a unique thing. There is much we can learn from it. Let's not waste time flagellating ourselves because we are not it.

Are you sure you didn’t misinterpret and that this astute financier isn’t actually inquiring as to whether @davidcrow has the corporate fortitude and resolve to make this business a success? Just asking....
@ispekhov @WillfulWills @erinbury I/we need a corporate will for a new Ontario corporation as requested by one of our financiers. Never had to do this in the past. My small walnut sized brain said, who do I know that does wills...@erinbury @WillfulWills Followed by should I ping @rubsun / @Caravel_Law

Awesome thread and awesomer story for all #startup founders in the midst of the inevitable grind.
I’m biased but @udemy is a true underdog story + thought I’d share details we’ve never shared before. ICYMI, we announced a $50M raise at $2B valuation. Udemy almost died at least 5x. We got rejected by everyone in the Valley. Startups are never a straight line. *Read on*

Do accredited investor laws violate the American Dream? @APompliano makes a case to give more investors access to private assets in "Off the Chain". In a nutshell "stop using wealth as a proxy for intelligence. There are plenty of dumb, rich people"

Only in Canada do we wait until the light changes to celebrate in the intersection. Can’t be blocking traffic just cause the Raps win the championships. #yongeandbloor #raptors #wethenorth @ Yonge Street

Collision - North America’s fastest growing tech conference - is coming to Toronto so we figured it’s the ideal time for another edition of Founders vs Funders shinny! We're taking over Mattamy...

Interesting stats-based look at US venture capital by @efeng e.g. "And since 2011, a whopping 60% of all funds raised every year have been seed funds (compared to less than 30% a decade ago)"

Pretty stoked about the #Raptors trade. But it's more proof of the @GoDaddy curse! Now what happens to @masfresco #CJsPJs and @JValanciunas #ittybittyballers? Soon to be replaced by #GasolsParasols ??
