Honouring the podcasting ways of old, we put out a call for your burning questions on Canadian tech and tech from a Canadian perspective to produce a summer mailbag episode. Boy howdy did you deliver.
“My god. Every time I ask you people for questions, I instantly regret it.”
The submitted questions from The BetaKit Podcast audience (along with a few friends of the pod) were pointed, to say the least. What is Canada’s most overrated tech company? How do we keep young founders in the country? Can longstanding access to capital problems be solved? Is a vibrant Canadian tech ecosystem even possible?
It’s an eclectic query mix that, taken as a whole, accurately reflects the current state of tech. It’s also a veritable gauntlet for one lone podcast host to navigate, leading me to swear off mailbag episodes entirely… until the next one.
My handwringing is just a delaying tactic to distract you from the big question: was I able to supply any useful answers to your burning tech questions?
I’ll leave that for you to decide. Let’s dig in.
Amid global uncertainty, the path forward is clear: Canada’s moment to build is now.
Presented by Uber Canada, DMZ, and National Bank of Canada, BetaKit Most Ambitious is back, telling stories of nearly 100 Canadian innovators strengthening our nation’s autonomy, security, and prosperity.
Recorded and edited by Toronto Podcasts.
