Hey there,You might have forgotten you signed up for my newsletter, I didn't, but things got strangely busy over the past 6 months. And the ScaleUP portfolio has been in the thick of it.Just to do the VC thing and take credit for other peoples hard work. On my end:Sonder is in the final innings of a SPACRewind raised a Series B#paid raised a Series BMedstack raised a Seed ExtensionWhile my colleagues worked with RoseRocket, Savvyy, Coconut, Nylas and Dooly to help get their funding rounds completed.All since June.Crazy busy times... and because of that, hard to find time to share thoughtful viewpoints outside of the daily noise.But now that things on my end have seemingly slowed down, I feel like it's time to dust off the idea of my newsletter.Going forward I'll be sharing links and thoughts primarily on the Canadian tech and venture landscape. But also when time permits some longer form Canadian tech history. I'll still do the occasional tweet storm, but sometimes I'll just need more space to share.To start, I thought I would share the story that I believe pinpoints the start of Canada's tech industry. If the history of Silicon Valley starts with the traitorous eight and the 'fairchildren.' Then I'd say that the story of Canada's tech industry starts with a little known company named MicroSystems International Ltd (MIL).I hope you enjoy this and thanks for subscribing!matt- Matt@ChapeauCapital.com
