.@TOtechweek was a whirlwind — a much-needed hard reboot for the city’s tech scene. It was energizing to see so many notable people come out to fuel the buzz, support one another, and embrace this exciting wave of technological change.
Had a great time this morning catching up with my longtime friend @aliasaria on stage at #TorontoTechWeek — even if we’re not the youngest ones in the room anymore 😅 Big thanks to @TechTO and @StandUpVentures for putting together such an incredible event!

A founder fundraising glossary: 💸 “We’re not raising, but open to convos” = We are 100% raising 🧠 “We’ve kept it simple” = There’s a spreadsheet 🫠 “We’ll get to 409A soon” = We forgot Fix your equity story before it tells one for you.
Our event with @LeadersFund got 8x more RSVPs than expected... so we booked a bigger venue. 📲 RSVP here: lu.ma/78o7xjke?utm_s… #TorontoTechWeek

Landed in Berlin for @SuperReturn2025 — one of the rare events where everyone speaks private capital fluently. I’m here to share what we’re building at @withmantle: automation + intelligence for private asset ops. If you're around, let’s chat. DMs open.
Our CTO, @dwayneforde, took the stage at #CTOCraftCon this week to share how to navigate the first 100 days as a startup CTO. Here are some of his key takeaways: ✅ Build trust first - impact follows. ✅ Prioritize alignment over perfection. Focus over frenzy. ✅ Your role…
LPs and their teams are drowning in data: spreadsheets, PDFs, dashboards, investor portals... More data isn’t the answer. Context is. We built Mantle Portal to turn raw info into curated insight — so LPs can move fast, with conviction. Clarity is the edge. 🚀
Tracewright is now open source! 🎉 github.com/TenKeyLabs/tra… Beyond having some self-healing regression test suites, loving all the different use cases folks are dreaming up when they see it in action. Some highlights are…
Wanted to share some tooling that we're rolling out at @withmantle. The idea is to help us maintain regression/integration tests by using an LLM to navigate a website and generating @playwrightweb code & screenshots along the way.
The next decade belongs to the informed investor. In private markets, real-time data isn’t a luxury—it’s the edge. Gut instincts and quarterly updates don’t cut it anymore. LPs who see beneath the top-line numbers move faster, with conviction. That’s why we built @withmantle.
This is what it’s all about. One of our LP clients needed to round up all their K-1s. With Mantle Portal, it took 10 seconds — not 10 emails or 10 hours. This is why we build: to simplify the parts of private markets that shouldn’t be painful. @withmantle
