VIDEO: Q&A with Canadian venture capitalist Katherine Barr

Venture capitalist Katherine Barr on Canada’s competitive advantage and how to get your big idea funded

Katherine Barr is a partner at Mohr Davidow Ventures and co-chair of the C100, a network of Canadian technology industry professionals and entrepreneurs who work in Silicon Vallley. She’s also a speaker at this year’s GROW conference, currently being held in Whistler.

Her advice for entrepreneurs who believe their idea deserves funding? “If you’ve got the entrepreneurial bug and you want to try and make something happen, then get some friends-and-family money and go and try to build a minimum viable product,” she says.
