Peter Oberlik, Founder & CEO of FoundersToday speaks with Raymond Luk — serial founder, investor, and founder of Source Canada — about fixing one of the biggest blind spots in innovation: helping large corporations actually buy from startups.
From founding and exiting multiple ventures to launching Canada’s first corporate-startup summit in just 76 days, Raymond shares bold insights on why procurement — not funding — might be the real key to scaling national innovation.
In this episode, he dives into:
Why Canadian (and European) startups struggle to sell locally
How corporate culture and “risk aversion” kill innovation
What founders get wrong about storytelling and fundraising
Why the best startups don’t move fast — they move with purpose
If you care about building ecosystems that keep innovation at home, this episode is a must-listen.
