A Collision in Toronto, Sydney Startup Hub and how I left my soul (stone) on Vormir

Howdy - I just got an incredibly loooooong email newsletter from a friend - yikes 😳 so I’ve decided to scrub mine down to just 3 points every issue…if you get too many newsletters try using Stoop to manage them - I love it.

I’m heading to Toronto 🇨🇦 for Collision next week - I am super excited as from the looks of it, it is 7 TIMES LARGER than last year’s event in New Orleans. 7 TIMES! I’m proud of my home country for stepping up and embracing the event and I know it will return the love 100-fold with a sun-like spotlight on the entire country’s amazing startup scene like it did to Portugal.

If you still are on the fence, let me know, maybe you can join me and a few dozen other Asian startups, investors and connector buddies to see what all the poutine is about.

I met a lot of great people and saw a lot of cool stuff in my 1 week in Sydney, but the thing I tell everyone about is the Sydney Startup Hub - a government project to house all things startup in one location:

Shout out to my super-connectors Brendan Yell and Cheryl Mack (Daddy). Imagine if you knew everyone in the Australian startup scene between 2 people 🤯

That’s it for this issue - more when I get back from Toronto 🇨🇦

Your friend,

Casey 🤓
