About Alistair C. M. Mitchell
I am a venture capitalist and successful entrepreneur, corporate executive, and software services innovator. Co-Founder and Partner, Generation Ventures, and former Investment Director at the MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund, my prior experience was as both a start-up founder and large enterprise executive. At Blackberry, I managed business strategy, product marketing, software engineering, and business development in consecutive VP responsibilities for multimedia, instant messaging (BBM), and portfolio consumer services. Before Blackberry, I was Co-Founder and CEO of Puretracks, a pioneering digital music service that exited to Bell Canada. Early career experience included public radio and corporate communications. I hold an MBA (Bregman's Scholar) from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, and a Bachelor of Music (Rosenthal Award) McGIll University.
