I spoke to a VC analyst some time ago and it’s true that VC’s want to invest as much money as possible in as little projects as possible. It only makes sense to them. If you have $100M then you’d want to minimize the workload by investing 1M$ in 100 projects. It’s sad to say but you don’t want to invest $100K in 1000 projects. That wouldn’t be efficient at all and I must confess that I agree with them on that point. Investing in too many projects require more resources to monitor those projects and it lowers any potential gains they can make over time.

We just need to make sure we help great ideas actually get the right attention from the right people (initiatives like MontrealStartup and others are helping in that direction) . Angel investing in technology here is somewhat organized...but not all angel investor wants it to be. That's because our angel investing community is mostly Love money investing...big difference. No need to be formal, no need to structure it...for them. I am also very optimistic about Montreal as a leader & tech startup platform in Canada.
