Quick answers

What does Daniel Dubois do now?

He is a partner at Side Door Ventures. He also founded the angel group that became Entrepreneurs Capital. Key's own team page no longer lists him, so his role there appears to have ended.

What happened to ShareShed?

Outdoor travel company Leavetown acquired ShareShed and Guiides.com in May 2017, about two months after this talk. ShareShed no longer operates and its domains are gone.

What did he argue at TechVancouver?

That making a difference should be treated as a collective responsibility rather than an optional preference. He traced ShareShed to backpacking in Australia, where borrowing a host family's surfboards and bikes made two broke travellers effectively wealthy.
