MAY 23, 2019 – Yellow Point Equity Partners (“Yellow Point”) is pleased to announce the closing of an investment in MacKay CEO Forums (“MCF” or the “Company”), a Vancouver-based provider of professionally-led peer learning groups for CEOs and executives.
For nearly 15 years, MCF has been committed to populating the world with inspiring leaders through peer-based learning for executives. Founded by CEO Dr. Nancy MacKay, the Company organizes professionally facilitated peer learning groups for CEOs, executives, and business owners. MCF accelerates the performance of results-oriented business leaders through its efficient time requirements and high-impact approach.
“I am looking forward to working with Yellow Point as my new partner, particularly as we continue building and expanding our leadership community and member experience,” Nancy said. “Yellow Point represents an investor base comprised primarily of CEOs and other executives of successful Canadian businesses. This is truly a marriage of two outstanding executive networks, and we believe the combination will drive MCF’s reach and ability to enhance leadership in the coming years.”
Dave Chapman, Managing Partner of Yellow Point said, “we have been exceptionally impressed by the team at MCF. MCF is the fastest growing executive learning program in Canada, with over 1,000 members across the country. This exceptional growth is testament to the Company’s steadfast management, best-in-class forum chairs and dedicated network of forward-thinking corporate executives.”
This was Yellow Point’s fifth investment in its fourth fund, which had its final close in late 2015.
