Collisions YYC

In this episode, you will learn from Randy Thompson, Owner & CEO at Valhalla Angels - one of the largest early stage capital organizations in Canada. With 300+ companies funded and $75M invested in them, they have the expertise and history to help you understand the in’s and out’s of VC.

Show Notes

Randy is invested into 100 companies and funds right now. His favourite part of venture capital is how it democratises the right to invest into alternative asset classes, making room at the table for more players who, historically, may not have had that seat otherwise. Randy breaks down the deal “food chain”, why deal flow is more important than capturing Silicon Valley level deals, and the difference between an inventor and a business person.
