Making it official 🔥 @Shopify Ventures:
This is something we have been doing for a while, but we never put a website together- If you are a founder in the commerce space, and are looking to raise funds, you should come build with us at shopify.vc

I quite literally would be locked out of my own life without @1Password. Psyched to have invested alongside my @backboneangels pals and I guess they let some other cool peeps in too @VancityReynolds 🇨🇦💸Congrats @1Password
Congratulations to the founders @1PSara, @dteare, @roustem, Natalie, and the whole @1Password team. We're excited to be on this journey with you, @jeffreyshiner @Jeannie_DG! 🇨🇦🚀

I’m very excited to be investing in @1Password, along with my @backboneangels, in their latest round of funding. This signals the vibrancy of the Canadian tech ecosystem, and its ability to create industry leaders on a global scale. Great work @1password 💪tcrn.ch/3qH4lM3

Alex and Jarett are the most wonderful people and parents and Angus is a true joy to know. Proud of them for sharing Angus’ story to inspire folks to donate to their local children’s hospital. I donated to mine and if you can, I hope you do too #fuckcancer
Two things I thought I’d never do on social media: share a very personal story and type out that my baby boy has cancer. So firstly, fuck you cancer. And secondly, let's take this shitty reality and give my boy a legacy of helping other children through his story this xmas: (1/7)

Our commitment to founders: 1. Move quickly so founders can get back to building. 2. Review deals weekly and get back to everyone. 3. Give and receive feedback - feedback goes both ways and we’re open to ideas that will improve founder experiences. 4. Do what we say we’ll do.
