Collisions YYC

In this episode of our new series Beyond the Echo, I am joined by Cathy Han, Co-Founder & CEO of 42 Technologies, as we discuss her company and how her experiences in the Canadian and US start-up cultures compare.

Show Notes

Back in 2013, Cathy co-founded 42 Technologies, a modern business intelligence platform designed for omnichannel retailers that makes retail data simple, intuitive, and powerful. This was an exciting idea that quickly gained interest from potential investors and customers, but there was a small setback – they were all in the US, and 42 Technologies was based in Canada. So, Cathy and 42 moved to San Francisco to build closer relationships with their investors, gain better access to their key customer base and accelerate the growth of their product – and they haven’t slowed down since. Join me as Cathy talks about her journey from entrepreneur to CEO, how her experiences in the Canadian and US start-up cultures compare and shares her thoughts to help future entrepreneurs in Canada gain interest and capital for their big ideas.
