Journey to become a better investor

A startup takes 10 or so years to become a solid business. With my remaining life, I would be able to do 1 or 2 more successful startups. It would make more sense to share my experience, knowledge and skills for the greater good. But while working with more than 30 startups, I realized that I was lacking something.

Vancouver Startup Communities List

So for those who are looking for communities and news sources, here I have made a list. And please let me know if there is anything I should add! What I have found to be very helpful Vancouver Tech Journal https://www.vantechjournal.com/ Founded in 2017 by William Johnson.Now joined by James Matthews, with a team of contributors. Wonderful news source! And they host a casual meetup every Tuesday 8AM. I have met with so many interesting and nice people there. To sign up for the meetup, please use the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNO9dBkqDpsJKUudHo4e12b1bFMYfhIHuZvylW3mm5B3a2Ow/viewform e@UBC (University of British Columbia) https://entrepreneurship.ubc.ca/ One of the best universities in Canada and the world. Large network. One drawback is that it is rather closed...

Created a new YouTube channel

This is my first post. Getting used to ghost, the platform which I will be using for my blogs. I have also created a YouTube channel. And have created my first YouTube video. Although the YouTube channel is "Vancouver Startups" and the first video has nothing to do with startups, I just wanted to get something out. Hope everyone is having a great Winter Holiday!
