This week’s CanCon podcast is all about money: lending it, saving it, spending it, and how Canadian regulations and international investors play a role. The ongoing story of Lending Loops has us wondering if we’re too Canadian for a US or UK approach to lending. A recently published BetaKit editorial has us wondering whether or not US investor confidence will dramatically affect Canadian entrepreneurship. And a MobileSyrup interview with ex-WIND CEO Tony Lacavera has us wondering if consumers will foot the bill for the promise of 5G technology.
Tune in as the CanCon podcast team – Erin Bury, Managing Director of 88 Creative (and former BetaKit Managing Editor), Patrick O’Rourke, Senior Editor of MobileSyrup, and Rob Kenedi, TWG’s Entrepreneur in Residence and host of the amazing #smallrooms podcast – reunites to evaluate Canada’s approach to FinTech, figure out 5G, and discuss VC Roger Chabra’s Canadian entrepreneur checklist.
