E101 - Current & Critical - Matthew Wilson, Venture Capital
“I think we’ve got all the pieces to take our economy to the next level.”
AlliedVP is one of Canada’s newest angel investor groups and the brainchild of Matthew Wilson. In 2013, Matthew moved to Calgary seeking to get involved in our start-ups ecosystem and soon discovered angel investing. However, our start-up comunity was young with few investment opportunities, so Matthew looked to more established markets in Canada and the US. Nearly eight years later, he’s bringing his angel investing experience back to Alberta and our now bustling start-up culture.
Join me as Matthew takes us through the world of angel investing, the importance of diversifying our industries, and how start-ups in Calgary have transformed over the past eight years.
