Kathleen Wynne visits Extreme Startups in Toronto
Being here in this space makes me very optimistic about the future of the province and Extreme
Startups is a place that helps people innovate and succeed.
It’s a place where ideas can grow into industries, and that’s what our government wants to
see happen. So, we’re here today, to announce that we’re
committed to helping Ontario companies get the capital that they need to expand and thrive.
To that end, we’ll be contributing up to fifty million dollars to a new venture capital
fund. This fund is an exciting collaboration between
the federal government, our own government, and many important institutional and corporate
investors. With all of us involved, our hope is that
it will reach ultimately three hundred million dollars.
It’s a credit to the potential of partnerships like this to what we can achieve when different
levels of government come together with our friends and partners in the private sector.
I’m looking forward to the expansion of this particular company.
I’m looking to the expansion of the big ideas around the province.
Extreme Startups is leading the way, because this is not only a place where companies grow,
but it’s a place where you deliver courses and you help to take learning to that next
level. So, thank you very much Andy.
Thank you all of you and I look forward to the next great ideas.
Merci Beaucoup.
