The warm and erudite Sunny Kumar was there, representing MaRS and Ontario Centres of Excellence. He was commenting on the restrictions in size for government loans to start up companies. The maximum is $500,000 which sounds like a lot if you were given that personally, but burns up quickly once you are trying to build a product and get clients.
Sunny is an expert in medical and pharma businesses but is also helping with other start ups at MaRS. You can reach him at sunny.kumar at oce-ontario.org
