“I like to say jokes You can’t put tasks on talent“Said Brandon Womenuk, a Mintlify documentation -App manager during a recent event in California.
Wastelnuk is originally from Ottawa, but now lives and works in San Francisco. In January he launched an appeal to social media to find other Canadians in the technological sector that, just like him, are disturbed by the growing tensions between the United States and their country. Some Canadians made themselves heard and Waastenuk began to organize events for those who nickname “Maple -syrup gang“(Maple syrup gang). The first exit was a day in the city with chocolate tasting, organized by his wife.
Wastelnuk organized last week’s meeting in the elegant Bain Capital offices in the center of San Francisco. About 60 Canadian entrepreneurs and venture capitalists gathered to attend a Startuppitch. “Some Canadians of the group asked us: «Do we have to transfer our office? Do we have to change our approach? “ – says Wassenuk –. Ma We absolutely don’t know what will happen. America doesn’t even know. The Canadians don’t want these problems. We just want to get along“.
The Canadian Alysaa Co, director of Bain Capital Ventures, thinks in the same way. He pointed out that one of the companies in Bain’s Portfolio, a fintech startup based in Toronto, has turned to small American companies since his birth. In an ideal world, CO has argued, the company will not have to reconsider its strategy.
Some members of the maple syrup gang have Take around the United States and American culture. An entrepreneur who presented a tool based on artificial intelligence to help children learn mathematics, asked for candid feedback about its application. “Pretend he is Texas. Or pretend to be Trump“He said.

The percentage of Canadians who declares themselves “very proud“From your country has increased considerably According to the analysis of the Angus Reid Institute Data, a Canadian NGO.
