We've tried to build a platform to make it easier to run your business. We think we're at the tipping point of being useful. Usage is still low. What's missing?

Seeing this in Chrome Canary, OSX:

"The page at 'https://www.venturelynx.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Shadows+Into+Light|Op...: this content should also be loaded over HTTPS."

Changing the http of the font URL to https should fix that.

Thank you - will get our front end programmer to take care of this.

Also, I'm not Canadian, but what's the competition about? And why is that even front-and-center on your homepage?

And why does your site icon look like ... I don't even know what that is? https://www.venturelynx.com/assets/porto/HTML/img/favicon.ic...

The favicon is a lynx head (as in VentureLynx). I guess that wasn't obvious? Our logo is a bunch of dots, which looks really silly at favicon size.

The competition is a chance to be introduced to investors, run in partnership with the country's top VC and a major legal and accounting firm. It's front-and-center because we're trying to drive traffic to it ... and point taken. I guess it is distracting to non-Canadians. Hmmm. Thanks!

probably nothing but you should migrate to bs3 ASAP

Sorry, I didn't understand this comment. I don't know what bs3 refers to.
