"We're investing in building tech talent locally," Daryl Hatton of ConnectionPoint explains in the latest 🎙 What The Tech 🎙 #podcast. The key to programs like #SRED in #Canada is that they encourage homegrown #innovation by rewarding companies that are putting their own investments into R&D. While this may seem like an unfair advantage to Daryl's colleagues in the States, "That's too bad!" By recouping a considerable portion of their #research and #development costs, teams like Daryl's can double down on creating products that solve world-changing problems while bolstering opportunities for talent at home. We discuss how Daryl's team has worked with Boast to drive #growth, transform #fundraising and be a true team player across the #Vancouver #tech ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/eDycrj2h

When you look at the Canadian Proptech Landscape - there are very few people that have such a deep passion for the real estate industry and put their own money and energy into their Proptech startup, like my man Eric Skicki. There are also very few Canadian Proptech startups that were build from the ground up, last past the 3 year mark meanwhile continue to see growth and adoption, like Broker Pocket has. And by growth, I mean 61% growth in off-market listing this quarter and we’re not even 2/3rds of the way through. It’s admirable and should provide inspirations to other entrepreneurs in the space - Innovation is thriving in the Canadian Proptech Space even in a market that’s been difficult for many to maneuver. The Full Podcast with Eric is live on Youtube and there are more nuggets than a Popeyes in the episode including the answer to this million dollar question. Let’s goo! . . . #brokerpocket #offmarketlistings #offmarket #multifamily #land #assignments #leases #commercial #offmarketrealtor #realtor #torontorealestate #realestatetoronto #proptech #canadianproptech #proptechtoronto #ericskicki #realtoroffmarket #offmarketland #brokerpocket #offmarketlistingstoronto #preconassignments #realtortorealtor #business #realestate

Early-stage deep tech needs more than capital. We work with founders, manage blind spots, and position them for success with the broader Canadian VC ecosystem. Even when it comes to finding the deals, the seed stage in deep tech specifically means being more hands-on and less so at later stages. Here’s why. #deeptech #vc #canadq #founders

Proposed Solutions to Address BC’s Rental Housing Crisis Reduce Property Taxes: Implement a significant reduction in property taxes for all rental housing providers to mitigate operational and maintenance costs. Reallocate Carbon Tax: Redirect the carbon tax on rental buildings to a fund that supports the decarbonization of aging rental properties in line with CleanBC objectives. This would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support affordable housing. Legislative Framework: Continue consulting with LandlordBC to create a legislative framework that preserves current housing stock and encourages the expansion of new rental housing. Tax Treatment of Capital Expenses: Advocate for changes in federal tax regulations to allow upgrades to rental properties (e.g., roofs, elevators) to be expensed rather than capitalized, providing immediate financial support for maintaining rental housing.

How are organizations balancing the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence while ensuring ethical use and privacy? According to Tara Raissi of Canadian Lawyer, as AI becomes more integrated into how businesses operate and interact with customers, there's an increasing focus on making these systems reliable, fair, and safe. From chatbots that process human-like conversations to tools that analyze large datasets for insights, AI's expansion brings both potential and challenges. The article highlights the importance of establishing a framework for the life cycle of AI systems to address legal and regulatory risks. It suggests starting with a risk assessment to determine the need for human oversight and implementing governance, protocols, and training to encourage responsible AI use. What are your thoughts on the balance between innovation and regulation? https://lnkd.in/ePpjpwZi #Ai #ArtificialIntelligence
