As a Board Member I am very proud of what CEO Michele Tung has built with homeD. A startup with millions of revenues coming out of the gate! Thought leadership at the Modular Building Institute , the First Nations Housing & Infrastructure Council - BC and other industry organizations. #modularconstruction #girlpower But man (pun intended) I am so glad that I am not a woman and not an Asian! I witnessed Michele going through some strange experiences which I am told are indicative of what female and non-European entrepreneurs have to go through in Canada (fictionalized based on stories from a few other Canadian female and/or Asian entrepreneurs, no actual events): VC: "You don't offer venture returns so we can't invest".  Entrepreneur: "We have a pipeline that will allow us to scale to over $100M in profitable revenue in 5 years. We can't promise you profitable billions because we don't think something like that can be achieved in such a short time frame." VC: "We want software deals and deals like we did with Adam Neumann who offered venture returns! Come back when your first buildings are finished."  Entrepreneur: "We won't need any more venture capital once the buildings are up and we have profitable revenues. Good luck trying to find the next Adam (or Eve)." Incubator: "We want you to meet with 20 of our investors for diligence" Entrepreneur: "How much do these investors invest and what experience do they have?" Incubator: "Each of them invests $5,000. We have wellness experts, mental health coaches, SRED consultants, realtors. lawyers,... Unfortunately no one with hands-on construction experience but we want to talk to you because you are a racialized female." Entrepreneur: "I was born in North America and my mother tongue is English. At what point do you think I was racialized? Or do you mean radicalized? 🤣 " Hats off to RBC and RBCx for going their own way and supporting so many great female entrepreneurs! It is a strange world when the bigger banks are leading the investment community in terms of vision.
