Shopify's IPO Inspires Canadian Startups
Ottawa-based Shopify was last week's big newsmaker: shares rose as much as 69% from the company's initial U.S. offering price. The IPO made the front page of The Globe and Mail, and was the talk of the CVCA conference (which Startupsource was pleased to attend). On the heels of Shopify's success, some venture capitalists believe that other Canadian startups may accelerate their IPO timelines to capitalize on a wave of optimism about the sector.
