Deacon Says ‘Privatize Innovacorp’

Colin Deacon, the Halifax startup founder turned senator, says Nova Scotia should privatize its venture capital Crown corporation Innovacorp and instead become a limited partner in a basket of private-sector VC funds.
Deacon co-founded BlueLight Analytics in 2009 and was appointed to the senate in June, 2018, where he now serves on the standing committee for banking, trade and commerce.
