How did you know you were ready to found a company?

I’ve helped build a massively successful global business, and, I’ve also invested in dozens of entrepreneurs and helped them succeed.

What is your super strength?

I’m really good at understanding the impact and implications of emerging tech trends.

Since the 90s, I’ve watched how these trends change behaviors and usher in a new way of doing things. This ability helps me spot entrepreneurs building companies that use technology in truly transformative ways.

What are you trying to achieve over the next 12 months?

I announced a C$24M first close for a third fund (TSFV Fund III) towards the end of last year. One of my goals is to secure additional capital to bring the total fund to C$40M in order to invest in founders who are using technology in unprecedented ways.

What advice do you wish you had been given prior to launching?

I would advise all entrepreneurs to bootstrap their companies for as long as possible.

What is your proudest accomplishment outside of your startup?

Growing to become a lifelong learner has given me great satisfaction. It’s made me a better VC and mentor professionally and also made a positive impact on me personally as a parent, wife, daughter, and friend.
