At the #TechTO #TogetherYC event, BioRender co-founder Ryan Marien got real about the Canadian Problem.
The friction in Canada is cultural.
Institutions are scared of the unknown.
Founders hide ideas fearing theft.
In #SF, you talk constantly. Because the faster you talk, the faster you exit.
During the #TechTO talk, one of the key topics was cultural differences:
People in Toronto are very risk-averse. People are scared to talk about their startup idea, thinking people are gonna be scared, people are gonna take their idea. But that's only stopping them from being successful.
Last week, #YCombinator officially stated it would no longer invest in Canadian startups. This week #TechTO hosted an event with the Canadian #YC alumni, and let's see what they say:
1. Don't let this discourage you.
2. Founders flip to US entity anyway
3. You can still operate in Canada
