I am blown away every time I appear on BNN The Pitch by the business owners looking to raise capital. I am impressed with the sheer guts of these entrepreneurs to go on TV, pitch their business and then take a hammering from the private equity people. Their willingness to give it a go is the ability that truly sets apart the wheat from the chaff.
In this show, Matthew Thompson of Protranscript, absolutely nails his presentation and should be able to raise more money than he is seeking with his entrepreneurial drive.
Andrew Bell introduces the panel: Rick Nathan, Managing Director, Kensington Capital Partners, Stewart Thornhill, Executive Director, Pierre L. Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship, Richard Ivey School of Business, Jacoline Loewen, Director of Loewen & Partners.
I apologize for the link below. I wish I could embed the video but I guess BNN wants you to go to their website. So here it is:
