A Conversation With Gary Yurkovich: A Pioneer in the Canadian Alternative Lending Market

From Lending Club to Ondeck and Kabbage, new financial entrants are expanding the funding universe for entrepreneurs and new businesses. Non-traditional intermediaries have filled a significant gap in the financial marketplace and have quickly become so developed that it is now projected that $11B of banking profits is expected to flow to non-traditional players in America in the next 5 years (Goldman Sachs, March 2015).

Espresso Canada has been an early player in establishing this market in Canada. Since inception 6 years ago, Espresso has placed more than $100-million in loans to over 200 Canadian technology companies.

Come join us for a fast paced conversation with Gary Yurkovich, visionary co-founder and executive chairman of Espresso Capital and Brad Williams, VP of Finance at Red Brick Media.

Learn about the role that alternative lending is playing in the SME financing landscape and about the growth and future of alternative lending and fintech. How will this funding source impact your portfolio companies?

The fireside chat will begin around 6:00 pm.

Finally, don't forget to linger and network over wine, beer and delicious appetizers from local culinary shop, the Salt and Pepper Fox too!
