Wiebe, who heads the Canadian Startup Capital Association, was arrested in Saskatoon on May 17 after allegedly entering an apartment naked, committing an indecent act. Police said last month that the accused, then unnamed, was allegedly intoxicated and unknown to the occupants of the apartment. He was taken into medical care after the incident. The allegations haven’t been tested in court. (The Globe and Mail)
Talking point: Wiebe is a prominent figure in Canada’s startup investment community. He helped build angel-investing programs at Startup TNT, one of the country’s most active private investment networks, and recently launched the Canadian Startup Capital Association, one of several groups seeking to influence how Ottawa deploys $750 million earmarked for early growth-stage financing. In a statement to The Logic, Wiebe said he is co-operating with the legal process and will not comment on details of the allegations while the matter is before the court. “This is a deeply serious matter, and I am treating it as such,” he said. “I am currently addressing significant personal and mental health challenges, and I am receiving professional support and treatment.”
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to clarify that Wiebe allegedly committed an indecent act by entering an apartment naked.
