Why Canada is under-represented in ‘tech’ around the globe

What is it like to grow a company out of your basement into an asset worth $1 Billion?  SOTI Inc., is the world’s most trusted provider of mobile and IoT device management solutions. The business has 17,000 enterprise customers supported by offices all over the globe – and, surprisingly,  has never raised venture capital. In this episode, we discuss Carl’s “no exit” mindset, the danger of Canadian companies selling to foreign buyers, why SOTI turned down an acquisition offer from Microsoft, and much more.
