Mario’s guest for this podcast is Jill Chua, Managing Director at Raymond James Canada. Jill and Mario discuss midmarket M&A, with a focus on growth equity, one of Jill’s specialties. Growth equity is a niche area of investment that targets companies that have outgrown the venture capital stage but are not ready for traditional private equity. Growth equity firms provide capital and partnership to help these companies scale faster and achieve higher valuations. One key benefit for the founders is that they can often take some secondary proceeds from the cash infusion, while also retaining some ownership, freeing them to be less risk-averse than when a larger proportion of their wealth was tied up in the business.
