Another morning CanCon podcast leads to a coffee-fuelled conversation on the difference between our wants and needs. Canadian entrepreneurs say they want to build global companies, and that they need resources like SR&ED to do so, but is that really true?
American investor Paul Singh argues that beyond our technological bonafides, Canadians are lacking a sense of urgency and remain trapped by government handouts. What do Canadian entrepreneurs really need to succeed, and do we want to build companies like our neighbours to the south?
WWDC is also fast approaching, posing the question of what we want from Cupertino’s finest tech company, and what Apple needs to deliver to maintain tech dominance.
Tune in as the CanCon team – Patrick O’Rourke, MobileSyrup Senior Editor, Erin Bury, Managing Director of 88 Creative (and former BetaKit Managing Editor), and Rob Kenedi, TWG’s Entrepreneur in Residence and host of the amazing #smallrooms podcast – discusses the merits of an airstream, compares wishlists for Apple’s WWDC and leaves me hanging on my Disney sing-along.
