On this week’s show, we spoke with Hugues Lalancette, Partner @ iNovia Capital
Hugues has over 10 years of experience in technology, finance and entrepreneurship. He joined Inovia as an Analyst in November 2015 and quickly rose through the ranks to become a Partner on the growth investment team where he focuses on enterprise software opportunities.
