Amidst the stunning vista of Parliament Hill, at the vibrant heart of the Capital City #Ottawa, NACO Canada orchestrated a gathering teeming with energy and excitement. A blend of Learning, Networking and Unlocking the endless possibilities within Canada’s entrepreneurial community. A special shoutout to Claudio Rojas and #NACO Canada Team for bringing together such a diverse group of thinkers and doers. It sparked new ideas, fostered meaningful connections, and ignited a shared passion for making our world a brighter place. Connected with Amazing Mentors, Advisors, Investor, and Community Builders.
Had an inspiring catch-up with Joe Canavan, Principal and Former CEO of Next Canada! 🎉
As a startup founder, I was incredibly fortunate to gain insights from someone with Joe’s extensive experience and track record. From founding and successfully selling firms like LGT Global (Canada) and Synergy Asset Management to leading Assante Wealth Management, Joe has a profound understanding of scaling businesses and driving innovation. At NEXT Canada, Joe’s leadership in providing education, resources, and support for entrepreneurs has been instrumental in shaping the Canadian tech ecosystem. His investments in companies like #Koho Financial, #Borrowell, and #Wealthsimple showcase his commitment to fostering innovation and economic growth.
Our discussion was enlightening, particularly his advice on navigating the startup landscape and leveraging strategic partnerships. I’m excited to implement these learnings and drive our mission forward. Huge thanks to Joe for sharing his wisdom and for his ongoing support of the entrepreneurial community.
Catching up with many other amazing people at #NACOSummit2024, It was an exhilarating meet-up with Mr. Jacopo Losso, Director General #EBAN (European Business Angels Network), where we shared and discussed at length a common vision of connecting and supporting startups across boundaries. I truly appreciate EBAN’s efforts in connecting the early-stage ecosystem, sharing knowledge on best practices, training and professionalizing early-stage investors and entrepreneurs, as well as raising awareness for research and fostering startup ecosystems through capacity building.
Exciting to support the vision and bridge the gap specially for Startups reaching network.
Boy O’ boy, what an inspiring journey #KOHO has had under the incredible leadership of CEO Daniel Eberhard. Meeting him in person was an intellectual treat. His insights on economic growth, identifying system issues, and his commitment to creating a win-win path for startups and the government are truly admirable. I’m excited to learn more from him, especially as a fellow hometown resident from British Columbia!
