Deal Syndication and Sourcing Capital: The Cross-Border Advantage
Given the fluid nature of the current investment environment, it is evident that both companies and investors are actively looking to form cross-border connections. For Canadian companies, US investors offer established connections, industry knowledge, and later stage funding, not to mention the chance to take advantage of the market most Canadian startups already have their eyes on. For US investors, Canada offers broad investment opportunities without past tax penalties or the challenges of recruiting talent in the more competitive US agri-tech ecosystem. In this panel session, investors from the US discuss the overall syndication environment and the benefits - and challenges - of the cross-border venture deal.
