Why is this important?
Canada has been falling behind in innovation. Private equity investment is contracting for small and medium businesses in Canada. With the pace of change in other geographies, Canada risks losing next generation leaders to more supporting funding environments like the USA and the UK, whose governments have legalized investment crowdfunding.
This webinar is an update on the activities of ICC across the country. It will bring to listeners cutting edge update on the progress of crowdfund investing in Canada – including successes to date and challenges to over come in the near future.
We need to accelerate growth of startups in Canada. Join us for the second installment of our national Webinar series, featuring our program guests:
