Great write up! It's fascinating reading about a whole other different start up ecosystem and the culture around how founders operate. I live in Melbourne, Australia and our start-up industry is only just starting to pick up speed now, with more VC flowing in of recent.
Great post - good balance of optimism, reality checks and calls to action. Thanks for being a champion for Alberta!
On the scale-up issue - U of C/Haskayne will shortly be launching a Scale Up Program, so let's hope that will start to have an impact. Good post!
I didn't know that! How does the program work? This is for companies or students being trained to join scale up companies?
It will be for cohorts of companies. Details are still to come but it will happen soon :) Will keep you posted!
Sounds good! Happy to share it on LinkedIn and Careers In Tech!
Just hold on that for a week or two - till more details have been confirmed.
Let's give them the chances to announce. Thanks!

Great write-up Zac. Love what you are doing for the tech scene in Calgary and beyond.
