Last week Maria Pacella and Meryeme Lahmami from our investment team spent some time in Ottawa to work with our portfolio company DistillerSR and meet local startups. It was an energizing trip all around, catching up with companies we've met before and meeting some great new ones. Overall we were impressed by the number of software companies building impactful products with strong economics. Thank you Invest Ottawa and L-SPARK Startup Accelerator 🇨🇦 for your help clicking into the scene. We look forward to be back soon for SAAS NORTH Conference.

Many congratulations to the Clio - Cloud-Based Legal Technology team on this funding milestone. The headline may be the funding round size, but the real story here is the growth of yet another market leading software company out of Canada.     It's especially good to see the validation of a vertically focused strategy. The implied revenue multiple is also great news for later stage #SaaS companies with strong fundamentals. https://lnkd.in/g6bnKu_V
