A Canadian implant in SV Jonathan Abrams (https://twitter.com/abrams) is now a founder of 4 SV startups: Socializr, Friendster, HotLinks and most recently Nuzzel (http://nuzzel.com/) with backing from Marc Andreessen, Naval Ravikant, Homebrew, and SoftTech to name a few. Jonathan has first hand experience on how timing matters for companies, how to differentiate in a crowded market to rise above the competition, and how execution is as important as the initial idea for the company to succeed.

Jonathan is also a prolific angel investor counting AngelList, Docker, Front, Instacart, and Slideshare amongst his portfolio. I love my interactions with Jonathan because he is outspoken about supporting and opening doors for women founders. He is also on the board of Girls in Technology.
