How old does a VC need to be? Is 28-year-old too young? In wake of Jared Fliesler being appointed a partner at Matrix Partners, the newest edition of “This Week in Canadian Startups” kicks off with two views: one from Real Ventures’ Mark MacLeod, and another from iNovia Capital’s Kevin Swan.
The newsletter also includes Pressly.com raising $1.5-million from OMERS Ventures and iNovia, Boris Wertz offering some thoughts on SaaS startups and the “toothpaste test”, the launch of MediaSpotMe, ContactMonkey’s new smart email tracking tools, and an e-book of 118 of the leading digital marketing tools that Uberflip helped me create.
