Comments on: Canadian VCs: Wake Up! http://davidcrow.ca/article/6760/canadian-vcs-wake-up Commentary about high tech happenings in hogtown Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Danny Robinson http://davidcrow.ca/article/6760/canadian-vcs-wake-up/comment-page-1#comment-3331 Danny Robinson Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:01:47 +0000 http://davidcrow.ca/article/6760/canadian-vcs-wake-up#comment-3331 I hear what you're getting at. Although I agree that they're not doing everything they can, I feel that we, as entrepreneurs, are simply more skilled to create something from nothing than VCs are. Can we really blame them for that? It's kind of like asking me to go and pitch for the Blue Jays. Would you blame me if we lost? We can put the same amount of energy into trying to get the VCs to Wake Up, as we can trying to fix the problem ourselves. Maybe a bit of lead by example is in order.... and if they don't watch out, they'll be left behind by a new set of VCs who are interested in investing into the eco-system.
