TORONTO, June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - TMX Group today
announced the arrival of the 2018 U.S. Public Venture Capital (VC)
Roadshow in California. These
events, showcasing Canada's
premier equity exchanges Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX
Venture Exchange (TSXV), explore the unique value proposition TMX
Group's ecosystem represents for early-stage U.S. based companies
and how public VC has evolved into a viable means of raising
capital. The California leg of the
tour opens today in San Francisco,
moves to Irvine on June 6 and wraps up in Santa Monica on June

"The U.S. market represents both a sizeable challenge and
tremendous opportunity for our equity exchanges," said Loui Anastasopoulos, President, Capital
Formation, TMX Group. "The goal of our U.S. roadshow is to engage
directly with leading-edge entrepreneurs and early-stage U.S.
companies to illustrate the full spectrum of benefits offered by
TSX and TSXV's two-tiered exchange ecosystem."
Roadshow events feature representatives from the Exchanges as
well as advisors from leading Canadian investment banks, accounting
firms and law firms, sharing insights into how Canada's equity markets provide an ideal
growth platform for U.S. businesses.
TSX and TSXV are home to over 110 U.S. companies with more than
$9 billion raised on the Exchanges
between 2013 and 2017. Every year, thousands of companies raise
billions of dollars in public VC funding on TSX and TSXV.
