Hi. I'm Liam.
I am a former startup founder, lawyer and investor.

Developing Affordable Housing

Supporting Innovative Startups

Rebuilding Toronto's Tech Ecosystem
About Me
I am a proud, born-and-raised Torontonian, focused on improving the city by rebuilding our local early-stage tech ecosystem and developing more affordable housing projects that increase densification and lower rents.

I manage the Capital Program at MaRS Discovery District, the largest innovation hub in North America, helping 1,200+ ventures raise $6.2B since 2008. I also personally write four newsletters for 120k+ founders and offer 1:1 consulting services. Find out how I can support your venture...
I am a housing advocate and developer. I specialize in converting under-densified properties near Toronto's downtown core into 5-10 unit apartment buildings with more liveable and affordable units.

Planting Seeds
I am a firm believer that an unwavering commitment to ambitious ideas is the foundation of a just, fair and prosperous society. That's why I have a newsletter where I share my ideas for improving our city, province and country.
