Leonard Brody
Leonard Brody is one of Canada's most respected young technology entrepreneurs. He has helped in raising millions of dollars for startup companies, been through one of the largest internet IPOs in history and has been involved in the building, financing and/or sale of four companies to date. Much critical acclaim has followed him in his endeavours. At Onvia Canada (where he was part of the initial executive) the company was voted Canada's number one startup in 2000 and subsequently closed a $240 Million NASDAQ IPO. At Marqui (where he was Chief Advisor) the startup was rated as the best new internet company in the country in 2003. Today, Brody is CEO of NowPublic, a company he co-founded in 2005. NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover impactful worldwide events and has quickly become one of the largest news agencies in the world with over 170,000 contributing reporters in 160 countries & over 3 million readers a month. In 2007, TIME Magazine named NowPublic one of the 50 Coolest Websites and in 2009, the site was nominated for an Emmy for Advanced Technology.
