Curtis Hollister - Co-founder, curtis@investorcandy.com
Co-founder of Investor Candy, Curtis Hollister is a global entrepreneur and innovator known for his ability to identify and capitalize on industry trends. Having successfully grown and sold a number of his own start-ups, since 1999 Hollister is now focused on helping public companies apply online media and digital campaigning to investor relations.
Hollister’s technology leadership began in 1995 when he started the first successful Internet service provider in Ottawa, Canada's capital city. After selling the business in 1997, he founded another technology start-up to capitalize on the emerging Intranet application market, which was in its infancy at the time. As the company grew, Hollister created a spin-off focusing on peer-to-peer networking.
During this time, Hollister was asked to participate in an exploration of the Chinese market. He was inspired by the once-in-a-generation opportunity he saw there. After the successful sale of his technology interests, Hollister began to devote his energies to developing global ventures, including deal making for public companies looking to expand internationally.
Almost a decade later, with a deep appreciation for the complexities involved in global business relationships and public companies, Hollister combines his deep expertise in technology, his broad experience with public markets, and his love of creative digital media to help public companies reach investors and stakeholders in new and innovative ways.
Mr. Hollister studied Economics at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. He is active in the Ottawa community and serves on the board of AIESEC Carleton, an organization that promotes international understanding and cooperation.
