 being a super-experienced investor or fundraiser, I'll leave the
translation to investment pitches up to others, but I have a mixed reaction to
this post. For most people, the hardest part of reaching out to others is
shutting down the the internal chatter that talks them out of opening the
door. How you conduct yourself afterwards though, is also incredibly
important.

I suspect investors as a class try to grit their teeth and discount
awkwardness and narcissism in the hopes of finding the next Mark Zuckerberg,
however I also think being a genuine and likable person - which for the most
part means genuinely liking other people - is a great path to a good
relationship in this and any other circumstance.

There seem to be an infinite number of parallels between 'the game' and
networking in general. I worked for 4 years as a full-time dating coach, and
many years before that trying to get my game up to scratch, and the benefits
in contacts, in rapport building, in sales arenas, in any area where I need to
present, are immeasurable.

Awesome! Not only is this good business advice for me but it also gave me some
dating pointers which I, as a newly single, rusty, guy, probably needs.
Thanks.

What exactly do they propose is the incentive for founding a startup in Canada
instead of just doing it in the US? It can't be Waterloo because those grads
don't want to stay here, as things stand (brain drain effect). It can't be the
weather, or taxes. It definitely isn't the investors, Canadian investors are
notoriously conservative when it comes to new ventures (unless your business
is to dig a new hole in the ground and pull out rocks). It isn't the cost of
living, the average price of a home in Toronto is $1M. The only support for
startups is a decades old tax credit program called SRED which requires
