Biography
I may teach Entrepreneurship at Ryerson, and help Canada discuss Entrepreneurship through Dragons' Den, but I started my first business at 13.
Now 30 years later, I've raised more than a billion in finance for startups, working on Dragons' Den for 5 seasons and recently completed my PhD in Business.
Have keynoted over 100 conferences, and would love to do more.
