Important one from @ruffoloj “The digital economy runs on intangibles. And with intangibles, it is lawmakers who determine who captures the economic rent. Data residency rules. Intellectual property law. Standards-setting bodies. Procurement. Bilateral trade agreements. These are not technical footnotes. They are the deed to the field. Get them wrong and we will build brilliant companies whose value accrues somewhere else entirely.”

It's go time. Don’t waste it! The world is looking at Canada for the first time in a decade. That window doesn't stay open forever. Stop waiting for someone else to price the first round. Lead it. Back the founder who isn't a safe bet yet. Ottawa can clear the path. Go!! 🇨🇦💪🍁

Dual-track deals sound like optionality. They rarely play out that way. @motalwar breaks down why "majority sale or minority investment" almost always ends in the former, and what founders should actually do instead. Link below👇

⁉️ Take a second to answer this: what happens on your team when someone pushes back on the plan?
That answer says more about your culture than any values deck. Avoided friction isn't calm — it's fragile, untested. View the break down below 👇

Trillions of dollars of energy infrastructure has to be sited, financed, built, and run. The software making that possible is its own category now. @ericmogilner maps it out by lifecycle stage. Worth a read for anyone tracking the energy build-out. Link in the comments below👇

Canada’s history is that of a nation of pioneers, builders, and warriors—and we can be that again.
I was thrilled to moderate a panel on ‘Building Canada’ with leading 🇨🇦 builders & investors @ruffoloj and @ddebow.
Where some of the discourse during @TOTechWeek has been concern, we focused on what gives us hope for the future and the actions that can be taken to remove the barriers to growth, entrepreneurship, and prosperity.

It’s time to expose a huge scam in AI startups: Contracted ARR
The reason many AI startups are crushing revenue records is because they are using a dishonest metric
The biggest funds in the world are supporting this and misleading journalists for PR coverage.
The setup: Company signs 3-year enterprise deals. Year 1 is discounted (say $1M), Year 2 steps up ($2M), Year 3 is full price ($3M).
They report $3M as “ARR” — even though they’re only collecting $1M right now.
The worst part: The customer has an opt-out option at 12 months! It’s not actually a 3 year contract.
In the chart below, by Q5 the company is trumpeting ~$100M “ARR” to press, while actual cash-generating, in-effect ARR is ~$35M. That’s ~3x inflation.
On top of this, enterprise AI companies are bundling full-time “forward deployed engineers” into deals massively reducing margins, sometimes producing Year 1 negative margins.
At some point customers are going to start triggering their opt-out clauses or aggressively negotiating down Year 3 pricing.
And a wave of enterprise AI companies may collapse.

The teams winning with AI in sales aren't the ones buying the most tools. They're the ones designing how the tools actually work together.
A sharp read by on why the gap between AI hype and AI revenue is an architecture problem, not a technology one. Article linked below👇
