Hosted by Mario Nigro, partner in our Toronto office, this panel discussion looks at many aspects of the experiences of funders and searchers, including:

How a search starts, how far afield to search (including internationally), what investors are looking for, challenges of raising capital in Canada; and pluses and minuses of the traditional model vs. the self-funded model.

As the discussion shows, from a searcher perspective, finding the right deal is often the most challenging part of the process – while funding sources may not be as plentiful in Canada as they are in the U.S., good searchers and good opportunities will still attract capital.
