USA Today on Monday published my story on the Canadian tech scene, which said the heart of the industry is found in the small and growing companies.

It was a great opportunity to go beyond Atlantic Canada and chat with people covering the tech industry, including the listed companies, outside of Atlantic Canada. The most familiar name in the story to Entrevestor readers is Damien Steel, the OMERS Ventures Director who put together that fund’s deal with LeadSift of Halifax. The paper has a daily circulation of 1.8 million, the largest in the U.S. for print publications.

I’d like to thank USA Today Editor-in-Chief David Callaway, an old friend from our days at Bloomberg in London, for working on this with me and hope there are more in the future.
