Inspiring Lessons
The Future of Entrepreneurship in Canada
with John Ruffolo
Founders need a purpose that cuts through the noise, and storytelling that transforms skeptical VCs into true believers. After decades of taking founders from garage to IPO, Ruffolo knows the difference between playing startup and building an empire. His message hits different: In the end, it's not just about the tech stack, it's about the humans behind the tech. Leadership that scales. Vision that crystallizes under pressure. And a community that shows up when things get real.
