A multidisciplinary team combining extensive investing and operating experience

At GTI Capital, experience is a key element. GTI's partners have been working together for many years and complement each other very well. Moreover, they have established over time a business network on which they can rely.

Pioneers of the Canadian Industry, they possess strong know-how of venture capital best practices. Combined with their engineering, managerial and operational background, the partners possess all the knowledge to select the most promising opportunities and help them grow into successful and valuable companies. In addition, they can rely on talented and dedicated investment professionals who possess complementary skills as well as support staff members who look after accounting and administration of the funds.

Prior to their involvement with GTI Capital, the five partners held various management positions with well known companies. Their operational experience is providing them with complementary skills in operations, technology, sales, marketing, finance and other areas critical to building successful companies. They can easily relate to this experience when they assist management of the portfolio's companies in challenging periods.
