Lessons learned from building a Toronto startup
These are key (and might surprise you)

REWIND
On Wednesdays, we take a deep dive into the content that is inspiring us, answering our most burning questions, and helping us reach the next stage in our journeys.
Today, we’re looking back through the archives on a discussion that will inspire anyone who is attempting to build a startup today in Toronto.
We look at a chat from Clinton Robinson, a three-time startup founder, technologist, Techstars alum, angel investor, podcast host, and public speaker. He co-founded (and sat as CEO) of Lane, creating the first no-code platform for the workplace which scaled to a $200M exit.
At the time of the presentation, Clinton shared with us his biggest takeaways for building a startup in Toronto, the journey of building Lane, what you need to know about pitching your idea, determining the “correct” advice for your business and even his biggest f**k up as a Founder.
“We would have quit on day 2 if we took everyone’s advice.”
Check out everything Clinton shared about running a startup, building a team, finding the talent amongst the competition, and most importantly, how to get the capital you need.
