Boris Wertz is one of those people who seem to be everywhere all the time. Based in Vancouver, B.C., Wertz’s early-stage fund Version One Ventures is a fixture in the Pacific Northwest. But you would be wrong if you pegged Wertz a Canada specialist, or even someone who sticks to the West Coast. North America – most of it – is Wertz’s startup hunting ground, an enormous expanse between two oceans and on both sides of the U.S./Canada border.
