Founder, The Venture Analyst

The Venture Analyst is an independent research desk covering underfollowed Canadian small- and mid-cap equities on the TSX and TSX-V. The work is built from primary filings — SEDAR+ and SEC source documents — with detailed financial modeling and an explicit investment thesis on every covered name.

The methodology is straightforward: start with the filings, build the model, construct the thesis, and require a credible bear case before anything gets published. If the downside can't be articulated honestly, the thesis isn't well enough understood. That standard is non-negotiable and is what makes the research worth reading.

Beyond research coverage, the desk produces bespoke financial modeling and analytical work for funds and family offices — DCF builds, comparable company analysis, NAV and FCF frameworks — across financials, healthcare, industrials, and energy. The track record across 23+ covered names is public, timestamped, and verifiable.

Primary Source

All analysis starts from SEDAR+ and SEC filings — not IR decks, not management presentations.

Multi-Model Valuation

DCF, EV/EBITDA, NAV, FCF — whichever frameworks fit the specific business and capital structure.

Explicit Thesis

Every report states a price target and exit criteria before the stock moves. No vague bullishness.

Mandatory Bear Case

A credible bear case is required before any thesis is published. The risk section is never an afterthought.
