Episode 113 - Venture for Canada: Growing the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

In this episode, Mario is joined by Scott Stirrett of Venture for Canada, a registered charitable organization that provides training to budding entrepreneurs. Scott and Mario discuss the growing demand for entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) training in Canada and the challenges that young entrepreneurs face, notably in accessing debt financing. While Scott is optimistic about the future of ETA in Canada, he believes that policy changes to increase access to debt financing are crucial for its growth, including adapting the Canada Small Business Financing Program to include key elements of the U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) loan program. 🔗 To stay connected and receive the latest updates, subscribe to our podcast on Soundcloud, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts 🔗 Follow Stikeman Elliott on LinkedIn for more insights 🔗 For more information and resources, visit stikeman.com/viewsfromthemarket
