Devon Galloway stands out as an investor who is still actively building as CTO and co-founder of Vidyard, judging pitches by whether they boil down to one clear insight and staying skeptical that most software has a lasting technical moat, favoring customer-side strengths instead. His path runs through Research In Motion and the University of Waterloo into Vidyard's early days as a video production company, and he remains rooted in Waterloo's tech scene while also being comfortable backing long, technically difficult bets, pointing to Groq as an example of staying "default dead on purpose" for years before a big payoff.
