There are boatloads of tax breaks and incentives that mitigate all the financial stuff and make running a startup here just fine honestly.

But that does nothing to make up for the terrible investment community. Getting started here requires already being started.

When I briefly worked for a Toronto startup, it was like all of them went to the same private boy's schools together as kids. It was a status club.

I jumped ship to an American startup and made almost double the money dealt with 0% of the bullshit and they were bought by Google the next year.
