Episode 006: Disrupting Canadian Private Equity Investing

Grit and tenacity. Two words that may come to mind when you think of John Ruffolo, a global leader in venture investing. Host Rich Goodman, Head of Capital Development, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, covers a lot of ground in this episode. From disruptive innovation trends (0:00) and public venture vs. private venture (14:10) to Canadian pension funds and their role in the public markets (22:28). John also opens up about two life changing events - one professional and one personal - and what he's learned from both (32:54).
