Toronto.
Global headquarters. Toronto is where GDA was founded in 2016 and where the firm is run. The city holds the deepest concentration of the firm's people, its balance sheet, and its longest-standing practice: taking technology companies into the public markets through the TSX and TSXV — exchanges with a structural openness to frontier-sector listings that no other senior market matches.
The firm's Toronto practice spans every business line, and most of the seventy-plus companies GDA has built or backed were formed within reach of this office.
