With US capital markets out of kilter, getting a Canadian startup funded is even harder. Many VCs say there are no quality deals out there, but I think it's the inverse - the challenging funding environment has kept startups in stealth/sweat equity mode for way too long. I'm hoping your event will contribute, over the long haul, to even one more great startup being launched on its way. Randall David,
