Just finished my CVCA Board meeting. I must say: Canada has a passionate and very dedicated VC & PE community!

Similar to other industries, the implication and passion of its Members is the main driver for its success and capability to adapt to change!
The debates and topics covered at the board level are truly driven and lively. What's good is that VC's have high expectation of its portfolio company CEO's, so in turn, the CVCA board has high expectation of its VC's!

 Interesting fact: The CVCA – Canada’s Venture Capital & Private Equity Association – http://www.cvca.ca represents the large majority of all private equity companies in Canada, with over 1600 members now! CVCA members have over $75 billion in capital under management, in three distinct market segments:
-       Buyout
-       Mezzanine
-       Venture Capital



Best, Chris
