Forbes interviewed Shaun White following The Snow League’s official debut in Aspen last weekend, with Sena Tomita and Yuto Totsuka becoming inaugural champions of the new professional competition advancing winter sports. “Is it more important to win the championship or the Olympics? Obviously, you go and represent your country, which is amazing, but to win the Snow League tour, to be the champion at the end, is gonna be a really really big deal. […] We want to get these athletes to a place where they can afford to just be snowboarders, just be skiers, and make a living off the tour,” said White, expressing his vision to make the Snow League crown the ultimate prize in winter sports. We’re delighted to continue to support The Snow League's mission to elevate the professional standards of winter sports. Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ert5qFk5

Dan Ahrens, Managing Partner at Left Lane, shared why we’re so excited about this partnership: “I’ve been following Ahmed and Saud for the past two years and have been blown away by what they’ve achieved in such a short time with a lean team. Their vision to replace the entire financial stack is spot-on, and the ultimate winners will be Canadian businesses.

With over 4,000 businesses already onboard, Venn is redefining what modern business banking looks like.
