The venture development world is founded on risk and reward. As the President and CEO of Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards, I am inspired by the many entrepreneurs and founders who are charting their destiny and taking a courageous gamble on new products, markets and business models where the winner often takes all or nothing.  This is the quest of the $100 million company.

Working with minimal runway and resources, every decision an entrepreneur makes is mission critical in the race to scale, secure customers and capital.

Our Invest Ottawa team is proud to support top founders, startups and scale-ups across our region. Our goal: to help to catalyze their growth and commercial success. We strive to help Ottawa’s highest potential companies scale quickly and sustainably. We aim to create new opportunities that help these companies thrive, capture new global markets and create more high-value jobs.  This drive is at the heart of our new five-year strategic plan; our mission and mandate; and AccelerateOTT on June 13. Further, it is reinforced by our compelling conference theme: Scale or Fail.
