Weekly Update! I recently had the opportunity to attend a webinar where I learned from an amazing panel of entrepreneurs, engineers, and developers worldwide! The panel consisted of: Shariar Kabir - CEO of Ruby (YC 23), Ex-Salesforce, Hiring Fellows Miguel Acero - CTO of Ruby (YC 23), Ex-Google, Hiring Fellows Dustin Beadle - Director at Lattice, Former Director at AMD Nabeel Alamgir🦄 - CEO of LunchBox, Raised $100M in VC I highly encourage you to check it out for yourself! Here are some takeaways I found particularly valuable: - Your projects are only as good as you can market them. It would help if you networked, made connections, and actively pursued opportunities to have the best chance at achieving your career goals. - Communication and the ability to effectively showcase your skills, articulate your position, and listen to others are key factors in your success. - Go all out on user discovery before writing lines of code. Get to know your consumer base thoroughly so that you can tailor your product's solution effectively and receive the feedback you need. - Don't oversell yourself. Stay true to who you are because you shouldn't be looking for a "yes", you should be looking for the perfect fit, and the path to it is riddled with rejection. I particularly loved Nabeel Alamgir's take on the subject: "I didn't go through 72 investors because 72 investors were bad or I was bad. I went through 72 investors because the 73rd wanted me and I wanted them back". I would like to thank Yasin Ehsan 🚀 and the Headstarter AI crew for making this experience possible!

Mindblowing. We can throw that term around quite a bit, but Matt Cohen recently had his first trip in a Waymo and was floored. He gives John Ruffolo the whole scoop and they dig into the current dynamics of the Canadian venture capital ecosystem, discussing recent controversies and major moves by key players. Listen at tanktalks.substack.com. Topics include public criticism within the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (CVCA), Brookfield Asset Management’s ambitious plans for a $50 billion pension fund, and a strategic review by Lightspeed Commerce, hinting at privatization. The discussion also covers global developments in AI, such as California's vetoed AI safety bill and OpenAI's massive new fundraising round, and closes with reflections on the growing influence of self-driving technologies and regulatory challenges, with insights into the future of AI and automation.
