In my experience, and certainly in this community, there's a wealth of accomplished entrepreneurs willing to invest in young new start-up entrepreneurs, people who are willing to put their time and money in.
I run this angel network in Vancouver and have been doing it with my colleagues from UBC for over 10 years now, and there's no shortage of entrepreneurship in this province. There's a huge appetite on both the ideas side—there are many new ideas coming—and the investment side, as there are a lot of investors. In fact, we often refer to the venture capital statistics, as you did, but the private equity capital that's available to these companies is at least double the published venture capital numbers. It's not tracked or reported. Here in British Columbia last year, $300 million was the official figure for venture capital investment. I can point to at least double that in pre-venture capital investments in start-ups.
