DISQUS

I had the same thoughts.

I have seen a few "kids virtual world" startups lately in Canada that I am looking forward to seeing launch. There is still a tonne of opportunity there.

I agree, everyone I have met from VW has been great.

@leila -- I went for a run yesterday (sunday): Shuter to River St, down River to eastern, back through the distillery district and st Lawrence market and back home. Felt great, only had to break once.

Perhaps I should start a running blog ;)

@omar: Thank god that the days of buying colo slots and hardware up front on the hope of needing them is over.

I don't think that a lot of new startups realize what a massive headache that was. Total pain.

Puritan work ethic,. Your point is valid, but you have your context mixed up.

When the time you have that should be spent doing things that build your company, or put food on your table, etc, are instead spent pondering, wondering, etc,. there is a danger that you won't create things., which is my point. It is rewarding to create. Even the painter has to put his/her brush to the canvas at some point. Or usually does at least.

I expect everyone to keep close guard of a lot of leisure time and to use it for all sorts of things, like pondering how things might work.

Can't wait to see what they launch with at the end of the summer. Should be fun to watch.

I agree Heri, when he said "Screw them,", he did make it pretty clear.

Thanks for this Dave. I really haven't looked in to the IAF fund enough, and this reminded me to dig in a little.

I have to agree on this one. Unless someone can convince me differently, the TSX.V looks like a wasteland for tech startups. They all come in with a bang, everyone liquidates, and then they languish, unable to raise more capital or get rewarded for performance.

Does anyone have examples of healthy tech companies on the TSX?

As you may have guessed, the invitations are gone. I'll see about getting more.
