“TMX CEO John McKenzie on the Growing Opportunity for Israeli Tech Firms” In a wide-ranging interview from June 2023, TMX CEO John McKenzie’s insights are even more relevant today. He highlights the TSX’s strong potential in attracting Israeli tech companies. According to McKenzie, Israel excels at incubating small firms, while the larger ones often find their way to NASDAQ. However, a crucial group exists in the middle: the accelerators and growth-stage companies. McKenzie recognizes the opportunity for both Israeli companies and the Canadian capital markets. Leveraging Canada’s proximity to the US markets, our appetite for risk capital, and our liquid and transparent financial ecosystem, it’s only a matter of time before the Canadian markets become the preferred destination for these middle-tier companies. This closer relationship would be a significant win for Canada and our capital markets, while also providing an excellent opportunity for Israeli companies to thrive. #TechOpportunity #CanadianMarkets #InnovationHub #IsraelBusiness https://lnkd.in/gZGjCVUf

A reprieve or a mirage? Latest data from PitchBook shows that global VC funding clocked in at $94.3 billion in Q2'24, finally ending an eight quarter long declining streak. Expectedly, North America was the biggest driver as it surged over 50% YoY and contributing two-fifths of the aggregate amount. On the other hand, deal count of 7,691 still stands at multi-year lows. While the picture looks a little better if you add the 2,713 estimated undisclosed rounds. For Asia, the correction in VC has been especially drastic though with both deal count and value approaching decade-lows.

Excellent summary as to why the UK market for IPO’s is dead and more and more UK listed companies will be acquired by higher value US Groups or taken private by US buyers. Hard to get economic growth without a credible (any) plan.
