Join us as we embark on a journey with innovators and investors, uncovering the captivating stories that unfold from the inception of an idea to securing vital investments. In this episode, we sit with Janet Bannister, Founder and Managing Partner at Staircase Ventures, an investment group that leads seed-stage rounds into Canada’s highest potential tech companies. In this power-packed episode, Janet shares what stands out to her among 1500 pitches that she sees every year, how underhyped areas might be great avenues for exploring the next big thing, how media needs to change storytelling to drive change towards an equitable investment approach, and why founders need to partner, and not impress, investors to get the most out of them.
