Toronto-based financial advisory firm GreenSky Capital has launched GreenSky President’s Club (GPC), a group of high net worth investors interested in investing in early-stage technology companies. Under the GPC model, opportunities are first pre-screened by GreenSky. ”We will often work with companies for a couple of months before we bring them to the GPC, and will have completed and organized our own due diligence for the group to review even before they see the presentations," said GreekSky president Geoff Simonett. GPC's first meeting was this month held at MaRS Discovery District. Twenty GPC members were introduced to Cyclica, a platform for accurately testing drug candidates and designing new drugs, and OTI Lumionics, a company focused on reducing the manufacturing costs of organic light emitting diodes.
