Access to funding: Leading your Company to Capital
March 30, 2010
Lionhead Golf & Country Club, Mississauga

Securing access to funding is notoriously frustrating in Canada, prompting many entrepreneurs to look south of the border for investors. With recent economic turmoil, this is even more of a challenge. The number of businesses that received VC funding in 2008 was roughly half of what it was five years ago. Meanwhile, U.S. firms, which in recent years grew to represent 41 per cent of all VC dollars invested in Canadian companies, are in rapid retreat, dropping from $836 million invested in 2007 to $370 million last year. How is it possible to attract – and retain – investors in today’s climate?
