In this insightful episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Jay Crone, Managing Director and Venture Capitalist at Deloitte Ventures, to explore the firm’s strategic approach to corporate venture capital. Jay shares Deloitte Ventures’ investment thesis, focusing on supporting innovative Canadian startups at Series A and B stages across key sectors like cybersecurity, climate tech, fintech, future of work, health tech, and AI. Listeners will gain an inside look at how Deloitte leverages its vast network of 1,500 partners and 15,000 employees to source deals and add value beyond capital by helping startups navigate Deloitte’s complex ecosystem and access enterprise clients.

The episode delves into Deloitte’s due diligence process, the importance of founder relationships, and the firm’s strategic role as a co-investor. Jay highlights emerging trends, particularly the promise of vertical AI tailored to industry-specific needs, and shares his bullish outlook on fintech innovations like stablecoins and cross-border payments. He offers candid advice for entrepreneurs on risk-taking and aligning business vision with funding goals.

We're also announcing an indefinite hiatus, but stay subscribed to us for any updates when and if they come!…
We ignore the ever-present MacGuffin, question if anyone still watches their cartoons on Saturday mornings, navigate the expansive white space, shapeshift into some mutha-frickin' dragons, wyverns, drakes, and raptors with our review of Selena Ahmed's Talon Hunters in this fiery episode of Digital Strips!…
We discuss the designation of bases, decide which is more inept, humans or demons, wonder how awesome it would be under the thumb of a hot, murderous demon witch, reminisce of Buffy episodes long past, and run down our personal preferences of line work with our review of Harry Bogosian's Demon's Mirror in this mirror-bombing episode of Digital Strips!…

We take our time preparing the meal, inquire about the effects of fantasy fibromyalgia, ask if our teddy bears will make a sufficient sacrifice, agree that this story needs more genie of the lamp energy, and question if stealing a cake can really help that much with our realm-traversing review of Indui and Isa's The Messenger in this dragon-riding episode of Digital Strips!…
We take a badly-motivated road trip, execute a revenge-fueled prison break, ride-or-die without seat belts, share our full names, and get by solely on VIBES with our psychically-linked review of HostileCrocodile's Tropicana Realms in this synthwave-charged episode of Digital Strips!
We view some prairie-dogging rubies, discuss what it means to be super-orphaned, go out in search of the truly hilarious jokes, fight inanimate objects while inebriated, and get to the anal jokes from a unique perspective with our eternally consternated review of Ghosthause's Greetings from Grisley in this horrifically hilarious episode of Digital Strips!…
