Greg Matthews works in Technology Finance at BDC in Ottawa, after two decades spent getting Canadian founders money that does not cost them equity.
Worth knowing
He has financed technology companies from the first idea through scale-up, at a bank venture arm, through his own advisory practice and now at Canada's development bank, and he knows which non-dilutive options actually fit a company at each stage. He has also backed founders in healthcare and mobile. Worth a call if you are a Canadian tech founder weighing debt, grants or a raise.
Story
Greg spent more than twenty years in financial services, starting at Royal Bank of Canada and then moving to rbcX, RBC's venture capital and private equity arm, where he worked with entrepreneurs in technology, healthcare and mobile applications. He later set out on his own, founding GCM Advisory to help early-stage and scaling founders find funding that keeps their cap table intact. He now does that work at BDC in Ottawa, the city where he took his MBA at the Telfer School of Management, advising Canadian technology entrepreneurs on financial strategy from ideation through growth.
