Dave McClure at Startup Camp 6 Montreal (Click here to access video page)

Welcome back to VC-TV and our three part video coverage of  Startup Camp 6 Montreal! 

Thanks to Phil Telio of Embrase,  the outstanding support of Austin Hill, John Stokes, Sylvain Carle and of course a team of great sponsors, event partners, the Societe des arts technologiques and members of our start-up community, we certainly enjoyed a night to remember…a night where maybe a future start-up star may have been conceived or presented. It sure wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened…and won’t be the last!

Today, we’re re-living the dream and posting Part 2 where we have a sweeeeeet treat for you: an interview with one of the two impressive keynote speakers that night, none other than Dave McClure. He was understandably…and as usual…very much in demand by virtually everyone there that night, so we had a very quick chat. Although I had to run through it fast (watch me speak at FastForward speed to get Dave off to his waiting fans and a much deserved beer :-)…), Dave and the wisdom he shared was pure gold!

Watch this video and learn what Dave has to say about the Canadian entrepreneurial DNA, his Startup Visa initiatives, what drives him crazy about working with start-ups, the biggest lessons he learned and how to create a great entrepreneurial eco-system (Again, thanks so much for our chat, Dave!)

Dave’s a passionate, valuable advocate of the start-up community in the Valley and everywhere. You can catch him on the ground advising names you know including Facebook, PayPal, Twilio and so many others and investing in promising teams at FF Angel. Or, you can catch him in the air as he leads a travel group called GeeksOnaPlane to promote cultural exchange & education for tech entrepreneurs around the world.  The start-up community is really fortunate to have him propel our initiatives forward.

But, if you missed Part 1 with quick snapshots of the start-ups and gurus presenting that night, you can see it by clicking here.

Come back again soon to see Part 3 where we’ll hear from members of our community including Ben Yoskovitz of StandoutJobs, Chris Arsenault of iNovia Capital, Alex Kallos technology start-up sales & marketing advisor, Matthew Harrison of BDO, JS Cournoyer of the Montreal Startup Fund and Austin Hill of Akoha.

Thank you for visiting VC-TV and come back again real soon!
