The TSX Venture Exchange has so far not proven itself as a great vehicle for tech companies. Not enough trading volume, institutional buyers or analyst coverage. I hope that will change but for now I don’t recommend it for tech companies.

I’m with Mark. I see some potentially nice possibilities for later stage tech companies who: (a) are big, but not venture capital sized in their prospects, and (b) want to use the venture exchange to get some liquidity while retaining a sizeable share of themselves, but for earlier stage high growth companies? If you want to pimp out a bootcamp, you need to make the case for attending, not charge $65.00 before you’ll make the business case for this avenue. “Public venture capital” is a misnomer, to say the least. I would really like to hear the TSX itself tell us what it’s thinking.

I have to agree on this one. Unless someone can convince me differently, the TSX.V looks like a wasteland for tech startups. They all come in with a bang, everyone liquidates, and then they languish, unable to raise more capital or get rewarded for performance.

Does anyone have examples of healthy tech companies on the TSX?
