E402 – Follow the Money – Sandi Gilbert, The Rise of Venture Capital in Alberta
“I’m best described as somebody passionate about ensuring entrepreneurs have the capital and the resources they need to build their businesses.”

As our tech landscape continues to mature, traditional wealth investing in tech-enabled businesses will be a key trend for the future. Don’t miss out on this eye-opening and candid conversation.
