Montreal is home to one of Canada’s largest and most dynamic startup ecosystems, and in just a few years, Isaac Souweine has gone from being a newcomer to the city (and to Canada) to being at the centre of the startup community as EIR with Real Ventures.

We talk to Isaac about how he came to Montreal, how he initially got plugged into the ecosystem, working in Montreal without being fluent in French, and working with Real Ventures to help build the Montreal ecosystem, including his work as the general manager of Real’s FounderFuel accelerator.

I first wrote about Sarah Landstreet in 2016 and was impressed. Now she's cashing in on her success as a startup entrepreneur, embracing new challenges. #startup #communitech #georgettepackaging #carbonneutralpackaging #kitchener #techadjacent #towr https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/2022/04/17/groundbreaking-entrepreneur-eyes-medical-school.html

My Ding-A-Ling was hit because is showcased a performer connecting with his audience. Chuck wrote some of the greatest lyrics in rock history, so we can give him one silly singalong that had an auditorium full of people happily doing whatever he wanted.

Robert Ham asked me to argue for the merits of a number one record I used to loathe but now kind of dig: Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-A-Long.” My thoughts are part of his fine piece for @UPROXX https://uproxx.com/indie/chuck-berry-no-1-hit-my-ding-a-ling/
