@OMERSVentures @TakuMurahwi Love the wellness related ones @TakuMurahwi. In my convos, I find myself suggesting: 1. Prioritize big swings 2. Ensure alignment with key stakeholders 3. Tune out externalities (elections, interest rates) 4. Seek better time management 5. Have a prepared mind

@Katie_Roof Not good. Bankers are hoping the IPO window cracks open 2H while Adobe-Figma casts long shadow on BigTech leaning into M&A. Secondaries as the only saving grace for liquidity?

From 2020-2021, many companies propped up by abundance of capital. This year, investors and founders deciding whether to soldier on or call it. Hard but healthy process. @rebecca_szkutak interviewed us and others on why the time for "triage" is over. techcrunch.com/2023/11/15/the…

Time to bring the curtains down on a topsy-turvy 2022. Staying positive @OMERSVentures but prepared for whatever comes next year. My thoughts on our 4th year in the US here: omersventures.medium.com/ov-in-the-us-a…

On the day b4 Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that my 7 yr involvement with @felixandpaul led me to my current journey with @OMERSVentures and @damiensteel. Great to see you guys for the 1st time post pandemic at @TheInfiniteExp - it was awesome, so everyone come check it out!

One of the newer things we are doing @OMERSVentures is co-developing companies with other VCs. @caraway_health is our first. Appreciate the leadership from @chrissyfarr @AlyssaJoyJaffee - made it so easy for the rest of us to come aboard.

We all love a good back story. Here's Caraway's. It all started with @7wireventures via many late night calls with @AlyssaJoyJaffee. We couldn't shake the idea that women's health "falls off the face of the earth" in the critical college years👇 medium.com/omers-ventures…
