A real pleasure to have the opportunity to catch up with Louis Tetu as part of White Star Capital’s annual Investor Evening in Montreal. Having first partnered with Louis when Coveo raised its Series C in 2012, it was great to reconnect and discuss his new role on Canada’s AI Strategy Task Force. We certainly covered a wide range of topics... From how startups can compete against the AI giants on talent, to the role sovereign nations can and should play in the AI landscape, and the lessons Louis has learned from decades leading some of Canada’s most successful software companies. Still lots to do and figure out along the way. But I look forward to seeing how the AI story will develop.
Thank you for the kind words, and for the longstanding support. It was a pleasure reconnecting at such a pivotal moment for AI in Canada. Louis’s role on the national task force reflects Coveo’s broader commitment to shaping a responsible, innovation-driven AI future. We’re proud to be part of the conversation and even more excited about what lies ahead.
Reconnecting and sharing insights with industry leaders like Louis is invaluable. The future of AI truly hinges on collaboration and learning. Exciting times ahead. 🚀
Christophe Bourque, your observations about nations positioning themselves in AI really hit home. The talent competition piece you touched on feels like it's already shifting how investors think about opportunities.
