It’s crucial that Canada has a healthy tech ecosystem to build and innovate. The BetaKit Podcast is where you’ll find the latest news on Canadian tech and entrepreneurship, where it sits on the global stage, and a healthy dose of critiques, wit, and basketball references from host, Douglas Soltys, and his diverse range of guests.
I’m an American listener (found the podcast via following Dan Olson). I appreciate this podcast for the in-depth and well-informed conversations around tech, as well as the commentary that is measured and grounded in facts and experience. It’s cool to be able to get a perspective on tech from outside of the US, from people who really know what they’re talking about.
If you are interested in Canada’s tech sector, you better listen to this podcast. Love the interesting perspectives from leading players in Canada’s tech ecosystem from across the country.
Fantastic content - info that keeps me up-to-date on tech in Canada and worldwide. A fun cast of characters - keeps it fun every week!
I am so happy that I (finally)have found a tech podcast from a Canadian perspective. I was getting tired of all the US bull****. CanCon has great guest speakers who know what they are talking about and really help explain the different schools of thought regarding forms of technology. Love it!
