TechPoutine #19:The AI Land Grab, the Death of SaaS, and Stay22's $122M Raise

Tech Poutine returns with a wide-ranging discussion of Stay22’s $122M raise, the tightening software market, and how AI is reshaping startup economics. The hosts argue that Canada’s tech scene has a real opening in this cycle, but only if founders move faster and build with much leaner teams.

Brightspark Get Together: Montreal's Tech Renaissance | Lunch, Learn, and Lead

The episode centers on a live Montreal tech lunch that brought together founders, investors, and LPs to discuss what makes the city’s ecosystem distinctive and where it still needs work. The panel argues for more coaching, faster belief, better capital formation, and a more optimistic, globally ambitious narrative for Canadian tech.
