Entrepreneurship can be a long, arduous, and gruelling journey, but if you ever wanted proof that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, look no further than Manny Padda.
Padda is an entrepreneur, educator, angel investor, and philanthropist. He is the founder of
New Avenue Capital as well as the founder and managing director of PM Search Partners.
A self-made entrepreneur who built his first multi-million-dollar company at age 26, Padda is dedicated to providing education and mentorship to today’s youth. He is a co-founder of
GradusOne, an organization that connects students and graduates with mentors and provides
them with resources to help them refine their career path and achieve success.
Padda sits on a number of advisory boards in the education and not-for-profit sectors, and is an active advisor and angel investor in Vancouver’s tech community, having invested in startups including Picatic, MyBestHelper, Change Heroes, ShareShed, Feeding Change, and GKup.
In this week’s episode of the #StartupCanadaPodcast, Rivers Corbett sits down with Padda to help entrepreneurs understand how to stay in touch with their regular lives on this journey and to learn to love the two-sided coin of flexibility and uncertainty that comes with the job.
