Congratulations to the Agora team! C100 is proud to support Charlie Feng and Kent Fenwick through our Fellows program - we're excited to see what's next for this young company! 🚀
👋 Introducing Agora – the end-to-end governance app for crypto protocols. We’re stoked to be partnering with Sam & Haun Ventures along with Seed Club Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Saison Capital, Caladan (prev AlphaLab Capital), Position Ventures and amazing angels like Sina Habibian, Balaji S., Packy McCormick, Boris Wertz and many more to help us in our long term vision in building open-source governance tooling to create a more expansive internet. Some of us come from open source. Others come from economic research. But the Internet of today is not what we thought it was going to be. Where we hoped for it to be free as in freedom, it is now free as in free trial sponsored by FAANG. The Internet today is gratis, but not libre. That’s why we started Agora to make building MIT-licensed software for running protocols our first and only priority and we've spent the last 18 months building deeply with top protocols like Optimism Foundation, Uniswap, ENS and we've seen: - 500K+ of votes casted - 80K+ delegate profiles created - Empowered over 30M in public goods funding and decisions Looking ahead, we’ll continue to build for the long term, and double down on shipping all our software as open source public goods that advance our ecosystem. We've got quite a lot started already, but there's much more to the story here, and we'd be honored if you'd join us in the journey. https://lnkd.in/eb5__UMK

Our Executive Director Michael Buhr on the prosperity concerns for Canada with the budget announcement: 👇
Executive Director C100: Veteran Bay Area & Global Canadian Entrepreneurs helping Canadian Entrepreneurs | Seasoned CEO, Board Member, Business & Product Technology Executive, Chief of Staff, Advisor, Founder
I sent an email to all C100 members last night regarding the recent Canadian budget announcement - particularly the proposed changes to the capital gains tax and the government’s perspective on Canada’s productivity crisis. My view - this will have an impact on our / C100s ability to achieve the goals and impact we desire. The Council of Canadian Innovators | Conseil canadien des innovateurs (CCI) wrote an open letter to Finance Minister Freeland, urging her to reconsider and discard the proposed changes to the Capital Gains tax, reflecting the concerns voiced by numerous Canadian innovators, entrepreneurs, CEOs and leaders. The letter to sign is below. I have signed it. I urge you to take a look, be informed, and make your own choice. https://lnkd.in/dUKSDPjY (cc Benjamin Bergen)

In our final session at Summit, Marcelo Cortes, co-founder and CTO of Faire, chatted with Marianne Bulger (True Search) and shared his vision of infusing the Silicon Valley mindset into Canada while advocating for a uniquely Canadian identity in the tech landscape. He emphasized the synergy between design, product, data and engineering teams at Faire, highlighting the critical role of hiring the right talent who are committed to excellence and driven to be the best. Marcelo challenged the notion that Canada should strive to be the next Silicon Valley, pointing out Canada's distinct advantages in lower attrition rates and higher quality of life. He called for more knowledge sharing to build a robust ecosystem, noting the past challenges of attracting talent back to Canada but stressing the opportunities that now exist to do things even better here. #C100Summit #Innovation #Leadership #CDNtech
