TMX GROUP (TSX/TSXV) https://tmx.com
As the operator of both the TSX Venture Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, TMX Group has built one of the world’s most active public ecosystems for early-stage and emerging growth companies. I work with US based founders, executives, and investors to explain how the TSXV can serve as an early public platform—providing access to capital, liquidity, market visibility, and a structured pathway to scale, including the potential to graduate to the TSX as companies mature. If you’re building an innovative company and exploring new ways to finance growth, I look forward to connecting and discussing how Canada’s public venture markets may fit into your long-term strategy.
