This week’s CanCon podcast is all about mistakes, or at least, how tech companies move forward once they make one.
Apple’s recent WWDC has shown a newfound commitment to software, as well as an admission with the Apple Watch that perhaps the company’s first step in the smartwatch space wasn’t its best foot forward.
On the homefront, we find a Toronto-based startup providing a textbook example of saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time, and prompting two important questions: does Canada have the senior-level tech talent to go global, and how should founders (and their investors) handle company missteps?
Tune in as the CanCon team – Patrick O’Rourke, MobileSyrup Senior Editor, Rose Behar, MobileSyrup less-than-Senior editor, and Douglas Soltys, BetaKit Editor in Chief – is jointed by special guest (and BNN’s The Disruptors co-host) Bruce Croxon to catch up on Apple’s latest announcements, and discuss what not to do when your startup is in trouble.
