Listen to the Podcast: Building an everlasting Evergreen fund with George Rossolatos, CEO of Canadian Business Growth Fund (CBGF)
Our guest today, George Rossolatos, is the CEO of the Canadian Business Growth Fund (CBGF), which is an evergreen fund. Evergreen funds, or sometimes referred to as open-ended funds, are different than closed-ended funds which are the most typical structure we see in venture capital. With evergreen funds, capital is invested directly into an LLC on an ongoing basis with no termination date meaning they live on FOREVER!
We talk with George about this unique position in the market as Canada’s first growth equity evergreen fund, the startup environment, and what Canada needs to do to keep its most innovative companies from receiving funding elsewhere.
