For the past 20 years, Joanne has been living and breathing the technology ecosystem and the venture capitalist community in Silicon Valley. But before all that, Joanne was born-and-raised right here in Alberta, and she hasn’t forgotten about her roots. Which is why Joanne has been imparting her in-depth knowledge and expertise back to Canadian tech start-ups to elevate our innovators to the same caliber as those in the tech capital of the world. Join me as Joanne compares our start-up culture to that of Silicon Valley, what we've done right so far, and what needs to be done to transform our reputation to the world.
