Gord McDougall is a Canadian investor who addresses the struggles small and medium-sized businesses experience — from attracting equity partners to surviving business setbacks.

Gord highlights the importance of a financial plan as a necessary starting point when launching a new business. He focuses on helping those on the road to transforming into larger businesses, where outside financing becomes an option for those wishing to grow. Private investors like Gord can help if banks won’t loan sufficient funds. He is interested in talking to companies that have been around awhile and need resources to keep going, as well as founders looking to sell and move on or those interested in bringing in an active partner.

He’s observed the consolidation in other industries and anticipates that the kombucha industry will see a similar trajectory, offering opportunities for investors like him to step forward and coordinate mergers.
