Episode 76: U.S. Tariffs–How Canadian Business Prepare in Times of Uncertainty 31:36

cách đây 22 ngày trước31:36

31:36

In early February 2025, the United States, under Donald Trump, imposed significant tariffs on Canadian imports. Effective February 4, these tariffs included a 25% duty on general goods and a 10% duty on energy resources from Canada. The stated rationale was to pressure Canada to enhance border security and curb illegal drug flows into the U.S. This, we now know, is a red herring. The implementation of the proposed tariffs has been subject to multiple delays with threats of retaliations happening in the midst of negotiations between Canadian and US officials. On March 4, the U.S. tariffs were finally enforced, and simultaneously, Canada's first phase of retaliatory tariffs of 25% on $30 billion worth of American exports into Canada had taken effect. Just two days later, on March 6, Trump announced a delay in tariffs on goods compliant with the CANADA – US - MEXICO Agreement until April 2. This move was in response to the pressure from the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, who told the president of their grave concerns of tariffs on the auto sector. Throughout February and March, a continuous cycle of threats and counter-threats persisted between Canada and the US. On April 2, 2025, several significant events are set to occur in the ongoing trade dispute between Canada and the United States: 1) The U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, which were partially paused on March 6, 2025, are expected to fully resume. This means that the 25% tariff on all goods from Canada and the 10% tariff on Canadian energy products will be fully implemented. 2) Canada's second wave of retaliatory tariffs is expected to take effect. This includes 25% tariffs on $125 billion worth of US-origin goods imported into Canada. 3) The temporary exemption for Canadian goods compliant with CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement), which began on March 7, 2025, is set to expire. This has already had reverberations across the Canadian business sector. We are witnessing increased costs, supply chain disruptions, businesses already experience immediate impacts on demand and the resulting loss in market share. Talks of cutting production capacity, reducing workforce and postponing planned business investments are adding to this increased uncertainty. There are many questions among Canadian small businesses on the revenue implications on their own operations in the short term and to what extent will this impact their survival in the long term. What should they know and what should they do to prepare. We are pleased to welcome Brigitte LeBlanc LaPointe, Partner specializing in cross-border M&A and venture capital financing, of Norton Rose Fullbright, a global law firm that specializes in key industries including financial institutions, energy, infrastructure, transport, and technology to name a few. We will be dissecting the legal implications for business when it comes to these US tariffs as Canadians await the arrival of April 2nd, 2025.…

Episode 75 Meta Ends Third-Party Fact-Checking: Implications for Users and Society 49:42

cách đây 26 ngày trước49:42

49:42

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has decided to end its third-party fact-checking program. This move was announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a video titled “More speech and fewer mistakes.” According to Zuckerberg, the decision to remove fact-checking is driven by the belief that fact-checking organizations have been politically biased and have undermined trust. Instead of relying on third-party fact-checkers, Meta will implement a new system called “Community Notes.” This system, similar to the one used by X (formerly Twitter), will allow users to add context and corrections to posts that may contain misleading information. Fact-checking organizations have rejected accusations of liberal bias and emphasized that they never had the authority to remove content or censor posts, claiming Meta was always the ultimate arbiter of content moderation decisions. The shift to Community Notes has raised concerns among misinformation experts and digital rights groups, climate change activists who argue that this change could lead to an increase in misinformation on Meta’s platforms. Some researchers argue Community Notes are not effective. Meta’s decision to end fact-checking has been in response to a change in political landscape in the US, aligned with a trend towards less regulated and more freewheeling internet content. While opponents scream “free speech” over content moderation, there are grave implications on the three + billion active users on the platform. We are pleased to welcome: Eryk Salvaggio, author of the Cybernetic Forests newsletter. He is a researcher, writer and artist who examines the social and cultural impacts of technology. He is a visiting professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Humanities, Computers and Design as well as the emerging technologies research advisor for the Siegel Family Endowment and is a 2025 Fellow with Tech Policy Press. Maria Amelie is cofounder and CEO of Factiverse. Pioneering solutions for live fact-checking and news, video and audio due diligence.

Episode 74 Developing Your Perfect Pitch Style 43:21

cách đây 6 weeks trước43:21

43:21

There are numerous articles, opinions, and perspectives about how to effectively pitch to investors. What elements should be included? Content is just one side of the equation. However, when you pitch to investors, you only have a short window to create an impression. How you pitch is just as important as what you pitch. Delivering a compelling pitch is important for startups seeking investment, selling to prospective partners, and customers. A well-crafted pitch can make the difference in securing funding, winning an important contract, and not missing out on vital resources. However, many startups fall short in making an impact. Why is it important? A compelling pitch often is the first impression a startup makes on potential investors or partners. A strong pitch can spark interest, initiate meaningful conversations, and ultimately lead to the funding necessary for a startup's success. While you need to adapt your presentation based on your audience, your pitch style should be compelling regardless. In this episode, we focus on how founders can enhance their pitch presentations: Once you’ve created that presentation how do you frame ideas around the content to create interest? What strategies can you include to engage your audience? Can you exude the confidence and the same passion as when you started your venture? What is the difference between being overly prepared and relaxing into the material you already know? How you articulate, the tone of your voice, body language and gestures make all the difference. We will talk about what a perfect pitch style looks like. I am pleased to be joined this week by Jody Yvonne, he is Founder and Chief Strategy Consultant for SAY strategies, a boutique public affairs firm. Jody has experience in both the public and private sectors. He’s been a professor of Philosophy and Communications, he’s worked in the legal sector as a Communications Advisor and was Head of Public Affairs with a large Canadian nonprofit organization. Jody has been a speech writer and presentation consultant for a variety of clients from small startups and founders to large c-suite executives including the Honourable Doug Ford, premiere of Ontario, Toronto Mayor John Tory, and other speakers and dignitaries. He has provided media support to the office of the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper as well as to Canada’s former privacy commissioner, Chantal Bernier.

Episode 73 The Building Blocks of Fundraising and Structuring your Organization 49:50

For startup founders, investment is often the key to accelerating growth. But decision to seek outside investment requires careful consideration and preparation. Once a founder decides it's time to pursue external funding, they must be prepared for the demands of the process and know that fundraising requires significant time and resources, outside of day-to-day operations. There are many things to think about once a founder decides to raise capital. Today we are talking about the building blocks of fundraising and structuring your organization. Is the founder personally ready for the increased pressure and expectations that funding brings? Are they prepared to relinquish some control and autonomy? Business readiness is paramount. Founders should have a clear vision for their organization and articulate how funding will capitalize on market opportunities. Understanding investor perspectives is essential. Founders will begin to understand how investors evaluate opportunities and what criteria they care about. Becoming investor-ready means being prepared to answer questions about your team and operations; your business model, traction; your vision and risks to your organization; and having the necessarily documents and pitch materials for investors to thoroughly review. Ensuring the company structure is suitable for investment is a critical preparatory step. We welcome Mujir Muneeruddin, Partner at Pallet Valo. He is a corporate & securities lawyer with a background as a C-suite technology executive. He’s also a real estate entrepreneur and has a track record in building, aiding and advising transformative organizations. Mujir will provide guidance on fundraising strategies, differentiate between debt and equity financing. We’ll also discuss investor expectations, founder preparations, to ensure founders structure their business effectively so they can make informed decisions that will shape their companies' future growth.…

Episode 72 Transfer Pricing Strategies for Canadian Startups Going Global 1:10:15

cách đây 9 weeks trước1:10:15

1:10:15

We’re diving into transfer pricing strategies for startups who want to expand their businesses globally. Transfer pricing refers to the prices charged for goods, services, between related entities within a multinational enterprise (MNE). A Canadian startup with subsidiaries or parent companies in other countries may set transfer prices when trading internally across borders. These prices affect where profits are reported and, consequently, how much tax the enterprise pays in each jurisdiction. For startups, understanding transfer pricing is essential for tax compliance, risk mitigation, and optimizing your global tax strategies. I have the pleasure of welcoming Melinda Nguyen-Raybould, a Transfer Pricing Partner with MNP’s International Tax Group in Toronto. Melinda works with public and private multinational enterprises, as well as with domestic enterprises interested in international expansion, to manage the complexities of their cross-border intercompany transactions. We will explore some key aspects of transfer pricing relevant to Canadian entrepreneurs, who are venturing into the US or internationally. What should they consider? How do they minimize the risk of tax penalties?…

Episode 71 The Human State of Startup 2024 with Glenn Nishimura 41:03

cách đây 11 weeks trước41:03

41:03

2024 has been a hard year for startup companies. Access to investment has been lower compared to prior years and many companies have buckled down to try to preserve their cashflow in anticipation of further dry spells. The year began with massive layoffs in the larger tech organizations and in Canada we’ve been left with a glut of highly skilled tech workers with little employment opportunities. We are tackling the human state of the startup company – and the state of founders and employees in 2024. Here are some facts that summarize the events of this past year: The total net headcount across the startup ecosystem has remained flat, with only a few sectors, such as energy and medical devices, showing any significant employment growth. January 2024 saw a significant decline in new hires, down 29% from January 2023. This trend continued into the following months, with February through to April all recording lower hiring numbers compared to previous years. Inflation has compounded issues as business deal with higher business costs and reduced profit margins: The EDC came out with a report recently indicating that in Canada’s unemployment rate continues to rise, and with slumping global demand the global growth is expected to rise 3% in 2025. Canada’s anticipated growth is just 1.6%, which is constrained with one factor being weakened labour markets. Glenn Nishimura is a Startup HR & Workplace Culture Expert, and Chief People Strategist at Nishimura Consulting. According to Glenn, “overhiring is now dead.” First time or inexperienced founders have had a very difficult time navigating and communicating these headcount changes to their teams. Discussions about pay freezes, layoffs, the impact on equity, and the resulting cultural shifts have soured the experiences of many startup employees, grappling with a future startup. Glenn works with startups and employees from the brightest startups and scaleups across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. Glenn counsels cofounders, and helps them build the right teams, and cultivate a resilient and scalable culture, which he coins a startup’s “immune system”. We will dive into the trials and tribulations this year for the startup employee, the implications on founder and their culture and discuss what is next on the horizon in the coming year.…

Episode 70 AI Security in the World of Generative AI–What You Need to Know 53:15

cách đây 13 weeks trước53:15

53:15

As Generative AI adoption soars, so do many opportunities to advance current systems. But we're also seeing is the soaring risks that are uniquely the result of these large language models. According to McKinsey's 2024 Global Survey on AI, overall, AI adoption in enterprise has jumped to 72%, up from 50% in previous years. Implementation Time: Most organizations report taking 1-4 months to put generative AI into production. By 2025, it's estimated that 50% of digital work will be automated through apps using language models, suggesting there will be 750 million apps using LLMs by 2025. It's important to note that while adoption is growing rapidly, there are still challenges. For insurance companies working with real business data, for example, LLM products show only 22% accuracy, dropping to zero for mid and expert-level requests. A more recent study from Gartner predicts 30% of Generative AI Projects Will Be Abandoned After Proof of Concept By End of 2025. Rita Sallam, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner said, “After last year's hype, executives are impatient to see returns on GenAI investments, yet organizations are struggling to prove and realize value. As the scope of initiatives widen, the financial burden of developing and deploying GenAI models is increasingly felt.” What does it cost organizations leveraging GenAI to transform their business models? From $5 million to $20 million. Many would argue this is still early day and effectiveness of these systems is eventual but the early debate about the future viability of Generative AI also points to new risks that come with trying to grasp this new form of artificial intelligence and why it should be treated differently than traditional AI/ML. When companies like JP Morgan roll out a red carpet to LLMs making AI assistants available to over 60,000 employees there is clearly a case to be made to realize cost savings within organizations. But is this the right time, given all the issues that have been playing out? I am pleased to welcome Zhuo Li, formerly Head of Privacy and Data Protection Office of TikTok and now CEO of Hydrox.AI, offering security and compliance for this new generation of AI. I am also pleased to welcome David Danks, Professor of Data Science, Philosophy, & Policy, University of California, San Diego, a member of the National AI Advisory Committee and advisor to HydroX.AI. Our discussion explores the paradigm shift in AI security to address the unique risks posed by Large Language Models; what is still unknown when it comes to evaluating the outcomes?; what are the new attack vectors that can be created by LLMs?; and finally with the increasing demand for data to make these LLMs become more effective what are the impacts when it comes to access to confidential or personal information, safety and society?…

Episode 69 Effective Content Strategies for Cleantech Founders 32:01

Clean energy isn't just a dream, but it is a thriving reality. We’re standing at a threshold as the global community races against time to meet ambitious climate goals, and with the convergence of new policies, investments and incentives away from fossil fuels, the Canadian government estimates that up to $140 billion in annual investment is needed to reach net zero emissions. As we begin to see more clean tech innovations on the forefront of these investments, this creates an opportunity to promote clean tech solutions effectively. For cleantech founders this means, not only raising awareness for solutions, but also educating the mainstream and prospective investors on the complexities of these solutions and the opportunities they create to curb the effects of climate change. Clean tech founders face their own unique market challenges. As entrants in this emerging sector, they face regulatory hurdles, supply-side dependencies, and longer sales cycles as industry invests in transformations. Marketing strategies need to support these extended cycles, while also educating the end consumers. We are pleased to welcome Urs Villiger, a seasoned content strategist, copywriter and advisor to Altitude Accelerator, who has focused in cleantech and renewable energy companies. We will cover the current trends in renewable energy, the challenges and the opportunities and what this means for early stage cleantech founders as they build awareness for the changes in industry and for their unique technologies.…

Episode 68 How Canadian Businesses Can Accelerate AI Adoption 28:35

The next generation of artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm. We’re seeing rampant innovation from the startup communities innovating from the emergence of large language models. Businesses in Canada, however are slower to hop on this band wagon. The adoption of generative AI in Canada varies significantly by industry. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, and technology have seen higher adoption rates, whereas manufacturing and retail sectors have been slower to adopt these technologies. Here are some recent insights: • According to a survey by McKinsey in 2023, about 23% of Canadian businesses reported incorporating generative AI technologies in their operations. This is lower compared to the United States, where the adoption rate was around 31%, and China, with a rate close to 35% . • Roughly 1 in 7 Canadian businesses (14%) are early Gen AI adopters •Larger businesses are nearly twice as likely to use Gen AI than small businesses. • Global IPSOS surveys reveal that Canadians are less knowledgeable and more nervous about AI than citizens of most other countries. • Gen AI could grow Canada’s productivity between 1% and 6% over the next decade. This year, the Canadian government announced that it plans to bolster AI infrastructure and support innovation by investing $2.4 billion in the AI Sector. We are pleased to welcome Shannon Katschilo, Country Manager of Snowflake, a cloud computing company here in Canada. We aim to unpack the challenges we face when it comes to leveraging and deploying advanced technologies in our businesses. And in light of the recent investment from our federal gov’t, what are the opportunities to ensure Canadian businesses within their sectors remain competitive.…

As startups evolve from small, agile teams to growth-oriented organizations, the need for strategic human resources management becomes critical. While startups often focus on product development, market penetration, and financial viability, at the early stages, once they’ve established market viability, people strategy becomes equally important. While network connections and HR hacks may work as band-aid solutions to get the startup to where they need, the growth stage offers a greater mandate: to acquire and retain great talent and to effectively manage this expansion, to develop a culture where employees feel connected to the company’s mission and to scale responsibly under the law. Properly building the HR infrastructure for your organization as you grow, and scale reveals a level of sophistication and care for the business and the culture you are developing. Investing in HR pays off in improved employee satisfaction, retention, and overall organizational health. With Beth Nevins, founder of Developa.io and an experienced leader in People & Talent, we examine the transition from founder-led HR hacks to professional HR practices. We'll discuss how investing in HR can drive employee satisfaction, retention, and overall organizational health, while also ensuring legal compliance and supporting sustainable growth. For founders navigating the complex landscape of people management in high-growth environments, this session will help them build resilient, culture-driven organizations poised for long-term success. Beth Nevins is the founder of Developa.io and an accomplished leader in the people & talent space.

We’ve all have seen the emergence of AI in the last 8 years, where in this sector, the male voice still dominates: A 2018 World Economic Forum report suggested that only 22% of AI professionals globally were female. A 2019 AI Index Report found that 18% of authors at leading AI conferences were women. LinkedIn data from 2018 indicated that 16% of AI professionals on the platform were women. Only 12% of AI researchers are women globally, and only 2.6% of tenure-track engineering faculty identify as African American or Black and only 3.6% identify as Hispanic. AI4ALL was co-founded by Fei-Fei Li, a distinguished computer scientist and professor at Stanford University, alongside her colleagues Olga Russakovsky and Rick Sommer. Fei-Fei Li is celebrated for her contributions to computer vision. Li led the development of ImageNet, a large-scale database of labeled images that has been crucial for advancing deep learning and computer vision technologies and served as Chief Scientist for Google Cloud. The inspiration for AI4ALL came from the founders' awareness of the substantial gender and racial gaps in AI and STEM fields. They recognized the necessity to create opportunities for underrepresented groups to engage with and contribute to the field of AI. If you go on their website – front and centre you will see, “AI will change the world”.
