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.

Hadn't been to Dairy Freez in a few years and was a bit apprehensive about whether the cones had shrunk in that time. No need to worry. @YvonnePilon
