ABOUT BRENT LESSARD
The best startup ecosystems aren\'t built by accident - they are architected through intentional policy, strategic talent attraction, and relentless community building.For over two decades I have been embedded in Canada\'s startup ecosystem - understanding the funding landscape, regional dynamics, the challenges of scaling in Canada, and the policy levers that can accelerate or hinder success.I specialize in translating complex policy into actionable strategies for entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem builders. From advising individual founders to contributing to policy discussions, my work centers on making Canada the best place in the world for entrepreneurs to succeed.
