Canada, It’s Time To Back Our Own.
Just got a call from a friend telling me that he has to close his business.
Entrepreneurs in this country are helping shape our future:
Innovating, taking risks, and challenging the status quo.
But without the right support/investment from the start,
We're letting too much potential slip away or close up their shops.
80% of our investors came from the USA because, at home, we were told we were "too small" or "too risky."
But American investors saw something different.
They saw our potential and believed in our vision when many Canadian investors seemed to not have the appetite for the risk of Mid-Day Squares.
We're beyond grateful for our USA partners/investors.
This mindset here needs to shift ASAP.
And I want to be part of the change.
I believe in the power of Canadian entrepreneurs.
I believe we can build groundbreaking businesses right here,
If we invest in our own. Especially from the institutional side.
We shouldn't need to look abroad for investments.
Plenty of capital here in Canada.
The next generation of leaders and innovators are already here.
Let’s support them and create an ecosystem where success is homegrown.
Canada, it’s time to back ourselves. The future of business is Canada is strong.
