Canopy’s Post

What better than a Day of the Entrepreneur to throw some flowers to Joris Van Der Gucht after saying farewell from Silverfin this week. Even though he does not like to be in spotlight 🙉 (whatever anyone thinks, not another LinkedIn flattering as you're not my boss anymore & we've always been honest to each other anyway 😂). Thank you, Joris. Genuinely. For feeding the fire in all of us. Aiming high, never settle, always focus on what's next. You were the one that reminded me of what ambition really is like 🔥 For giving me your trust and confidence. When hiring me in the first place, and throughout the rollercoaster years that followed. I could try & fail, learn & improve, and hustle a way to our goals 🎯 For reminding me to have fun, making many memories. And plenty of drinks along the way 🎉 For keeping me honest, in highs and lows 🧐 Of course the going got rough at times. Pressure, stress, countless challenges: scaling is not quite a pony camp. But persistence always wins. Your recent Connexi Podcast (link in comments) summarizes it perfectly. An illustration of your self-knowledge & self-reflection skills many underestimate. Let's call it a week & have a Friday drink, as we always did at Silverfin. Here's to the next thrilling chapters in your journey! 🥂 We'll all keep building the opportunity 🚀 After all, never a boring day! 🐒

This week, we not only celebrate the company’s 11th anniversary but also that Canopy made the Inc. 5000 list again, recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing privately held companies. Thinking back to just over 11 years ago, I can now admit that the idea of building Canopy was an ambitious vision: “Let’s build a software platform that has the ability to connect to anything for the benefits of centralized management and control.” This single thought expanded into over a decade of relentless effort by so many incredible individuals. So much of what has happened could never have been predicted, yet through the perseverance of talented people and teams, we navigated all the entrepreneurial ups and downs to achieve the originating vision of the company - Canopy. It’s flat-out inspiring to me - especially when you see the value that Canopy creates today in the markets we serve, whether camera systems, smart lockers, digital kiosks, printers, point-of-sale systems, or even golf simulators. I’m in awe of the progress, the capabilities of our business and technology, and the commitment that so many have made in making it all happen. I find what’s ahead to be the most inspiring. Everything we’ve done to this point propels us forward, and Canopy will provide even higher levels of value for our team, customers, and partners. We want to show appreciation to all of you who have helped make Canopy the incredible company and product that it is. You will see in the image below a mosaic that captures the hundreds of people who have contributed to Canopy’s success. Enjoy zooming in and seeing some of our history, inclusive of those who have contributed so much along the way. Zoom out and you might just see the big picture of our legacy — the Banyan tree in Lahaina. To say “thank you” to everyone involved is a massive understatement. Please know how much I - and the entire team - appreciate the legacy that you’ve helped build. Here’s to the next chapter of growth and innovation! Go Canopy, Go! Thank you for the recognition Inc. Magazine! #Inc5000 #goCanopy #connectedproducts #rmm #remotedevicemanagement

One of my favorite quotes from the inimitable Michelle Obama: "When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed." I have been very fortunate in my life to have parents who pushed me, sent me to the best schools, and gave me so many opportunities to succeed -- and I took full advantage of every one. Now I'm doing my best to pay it forward for those who didn't have the same opportunities. The pool of talent right here in Colorado is leaking at many points along the way. Straight-A students from underrepresented & low income backgrounds are dissuaded from attending college, and nearly 90% who do attend college drop out. For companies to make real progress on hiring diverse local talent, we need to invest in the long game to ensure the pipeline doesn't continue to get cut short. Our number one focus at HighView is to ensure that 100% of our graduates are prepared to thrive in college and in career fields that offer life-changing economic mobility. Honored to be nominated among such an impressive group of leaders, innovators and tech pioneers here in Colorado. #APEXCO #DEI #talent #talentpipeline
