Can Start-ups Save Canadian Venture Capital?

Jevon MacDonald over at StartupNorth has been presenting over on the East Coast about How Startups Will Save Venture Capital in Canada and it doesn't let anyone in the start-up ecosystem off the hook.

It isn’t a criticism, but instead it is an analysis and a call to action for both Angels, VCs and Entrepreneurs. Things are pretty busted up right now and it is time to start talking about what we need to do to make a difference.

My thesis is simple: Startups just aren’t getting started in Canada nearly as often as they should. This isn’t about education levels, creativity or even for a lack of cash floating around this country. This is about ambition.

Have a read and check out his slide show.
