Creative Destruction Lab honours pioneering VC Haig Farris
Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), part of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, has given its first annual Capital Award to Haig Farris, a Canadian venture capital pioneer. CDL's award recognizes an individual or organization that has had an impact on Canada's competitiveness through the application of capital to the areas of science, technology, and commerce. Farris was the award's debut recipient in part because of his role in co-founding Ventures West Management, one of the domestic industry's most influential and longest-lived venture firms. Farris has since led Fractal Capital Corp, a Canadian angel and seed investment firm.
