Certains aiment être de gros poissons dans un petit étang, tandis que d'autres aiment être de petits poissons dans un grand étang. Eva Lau, fondatrice de Two Small Fish Ventures, a préféré nager avec les requins de la Silicon Valley. Avec son mari Allen Lau, cofondateur et chef de la direction de Wattpad, Eva a lancé la société de placement afin de redonner et d'aider à soutenir l'écosystème des entreprises en démarrage du Canada, et elle a depuis amassé 12 millions de dollars pour le fonds. Dans le cadre de ses fonctions au sein de Two Small Fish Ventures, Eva encadre des fondateurs d'entreprise en démarrage afin de leur faire part des leçons qu'elle a apprises au cours de sa propre carrière et de transmettre le flambeau à la prochaine génération de leaders d'entreprise.Donner un petit peuEva a expliqué que la philosophie derrière Two Small Fish Ventures s'appuie sur un fort désir de réinvestir dans l'écosystème des entreprises en démarrage du Canada, non seulement par des moyens financiers, mais aussi en partageant la sagesse tirée de ses années d'expérience. La Silicon Valley est devenue l'écosystème actuel en raison de cette idéologie de redonner à la collectivité, et Eva suggère qu'il est temps d'adopter une mentalité semblable au nord de la frontière. On a tendance à récupérer ce que l'on donne, et Two Small Fish Ventures adhère à ce principe.Apprendre des erreursDans ses fonctions de mentor auprès d'autres fondateurs d'entreprise en démarrage, Eva croit qu'il est important de partager tous les avantages de son expérience, et pas seulement les cas de réussite. Elle souligne qu'au cours de sa carrière, elle a souvent appris plus de ses erreurs que de ses victoires, et elle considère qu'il fait partie de son devoir en tant que mentor de faire part de ces observations à d'autres futurs leaders. Selon Eva, la clé pour apprendre des erreurs consiste à comprendre le processus de réflexion qui sous-tend vos décisions afin de pouvoir faire des choix plus éclairés à l'avenir.Investir dans des compétences localesSelon Eva, le Canada dispose des compétences, du soutien et de l'infrastructure nécessaires pour connaître un énorme succès, mais l'écosystème des entreprises en démarrage du pays a besoin de plus d'investissements. Pour exploiter ce potentiel, plus de gens doivent investir dans des entreprises canadiennes en démarrage. Selon Eva, chaque fois qu'il y a un point d'inflexion dans l'écosystème, on voit apparaître une nouvelle génération de sociétés qui aident à faire progresser le monde dans un nouveau modèle, et c'est pourquoi c'est le meilleur moment pour investir.Services financiers Innovation CIBC est un partenaire financier de confiance pour les entrepreneurs et les investisseurs.

Some like to be a big fish in a small pond, while others enjoy the hustle of being a small fish in a big pond. For the founder of Two Small Fish Ventures, Eva Lau, swimming with the sharks of Silicon Valley was more her speed. Along with her husband Allen Lau, the co-founder and CEO of Wattpad, Eva launched the investment firm to give back and help nurture the startup ecosystem in Canada, and has since raised $12 million for the fund. As part of her role at Two Small Fish Ventures, Eva mentors startup founders to share the lessons she's learned in her own career and pass the torch to the next generation of business leaders.Give a little bitEva explained that the philosophy behind Two Small Fish Ventures is backed by a strong desire to reinvest in Canada's startup ecosystem, not only through financial means but by sharing wisdom gleaned from years of experience. Silicon Valley grew into the ecosystem it is today as a result of this ideology of giving back, and Eva suggests it's time we adopt a similar mindset north of the border. What you give, you tend to get back, and Two Small Fish Ventures lives by this mandate.Learn from mistakesIn her role as a mentor to other startup founders, Eva believes in sharing all the benefits of her experience—not just the success stories. She notes that during her career, she's often learned more from her mistakes than her wins, and she considers it part of her duty as a mentor to provide these insights to other aspiring leaders. The key to learning from mistakes, according to Eva, is understanding the thought process behind your decisions so you can make more informed choices moving forward.Invest in homegrown talentAccording to Eva, Canada is equipped with all the talent, support and infrastructure required to see massive success, but the country's startup ecosystem needs more investment. In order to harness this potential, more people need to invest in early stage startups here at home. Eva says that whenever there's an inflection point in the ecosystem, we will see a new breed of companies that are in the making to help advance the world in a new model, which is why now is the best time to invest.CIBC Innovation Banking is a trusted financial partner to entrepreneurs and investors.
