Hedgewood

A private investment vehicle associated with entrepreneur and investor Jesse Rasch. The captured page is a founder biography rather than a firm overview: it recounts that Rasch founded webhosting.com and InQuent Technologies, the latter supplying hosting solutions to telecommunications customers including AT&T, Comcast, Cox Communications and Bell Canada, and that webhosting.com became one of the largest hosting companies in the world before both were sold to AT&T. He subsequently orchestrated a management-team acquisition of InQuent back from AT&T and sold it a second time. He is a past recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the founding investor of VerticalScope (TSX: FORA), which develops and acquires commerce and social communities reaching more than 100 million monthly visitors. Through his family foundation he established NutritionFacts.org, a non-profit resource on plant-based nutrition for consumers and physicians and one of the larger non-profit healthcare sites online. The page also points to archived essays on venture philanthropy, angel investing and entrepreneurship. Portfolio marks hosted on the site's own uploads folder show holdings including Well.ca, Fellow, Motoinsight and Clarify. Beyond this the page carries no fund size, stage, sector mandate or transaction detail.
