So far in 2006 venture capital (VC) financings are down in high tech Ottawa, but employment is up. What gives? Join co-hosts Jeffrey Dale, President and CEO of OCRI, and Nathan Rudyk, President of market2world communications inc. as they talk to two of Canada's top venture capital leaders and one of the city's most revered entrepreneurs to find out where the big money's going, and how Ottawa must position itself to attract more of it.

Dale and Rudyk interview Andrew Waitman, Managing Partner of Celtic House, Ottawa's largest venture capital company with offices in Toronto and Gloucester, England; and Ted Anderson, President of Ventures West, one of the largest and most successful VC companies in the country with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and now in Ottawa.
