Canadian founders: we want A16Z to lead our round.
Mom: we got a16zed at home
I don’t get why anyone wouldn’t support the government of Canada investing in @cohere
They religiously give billions, with no equity in exchange, to companies like Honda, VW, Stellantis, Umicore, and BHP.
The government didn’t lead the round, they participated, and I hope to see billions more invested this way every year.
Beats using our $ for grants, tax credits, and loans with favorable terms to large and foreign owned corporations.
In Canada you can’t be Batman for Halloween.
Instead you must settle for batman with a winter jacket
getting brutally Halloween mogged this evening by my neighbours house.
This will never happen again.

Board member here. Tobi is the sole seeding reason that there is a Shopify, that it has prospered beyond the wildest shareholder imaginations, and that it has its stellar reputation among merchants and customers alike. Our care and appreciation couldn't be greater!
Amazing to see how well this spaceship survived.
First-ever soft splashdown that left Starship intact & floating, allowing close-up inspection of the heat shield tiles after the wicked heat of reentry.
Onwards to catch it next time - congrats to the whole team @SpaceX !

again - just do the opposite of what he says and we will prosper.
This is exactly what Canada should do.
