Beacon Advisors is pleased to announce the appointment of Jaimie Grossman to its Industry Advisor Council, where he will support Beacon’s sell-side and growth-stage mandates in digital marketplaces, tech-enabled consumer services, and healthcare services across Canada and the United States.
Jaimie is a three-time founder and CEO with full ownership-cycle experience and two exits to TSX-listed strategic acquirers. He was co-founder and CEO of UPTREND Media, the largest independent advertising representation network in Canada at the time of its 2010 acquisition by Yellow Pages Group (TSX: Y) as part of the formation of Mediative. He subsequently co-founded Jiffy Inc., a mobile marketplace connecting homeowners with vetted service professionals, serving as CEO through 2018 and as Chairman through the company’s sale to Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) in November 2024.
In late 2023, Jaimie acquired Golden Care Dental, now operating as Golden Care Health, where he serves as Executive Chairman. Golden Care is a leading provider of on-site oral health services to long-term care facilities and retirement homes across Ontario.
Across his career as a founder and board chair, Jaimie has raised capital from and managed ongoing relationships with institutional venture investors across Canada and the United States, leading founder-side fundraising processes through seed, growth, and pre-exit rounds. He holds an MBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University and a certificate in American Foreign Policy from American University in Washington, D.C. He sits on the boards of technology companies including Tow4Tech and LiveBarn, and serves as Chair of the Larry Grossman Forest Hill Memorial Arena.
“Jaimie’s track record of building, scaling, and exiting platforms across three sectors gives our clients something rare in the lower middle market: an advisor who has personally sat on the founder side of the table through full ownership cycles, including two transactions with public-company strategic buyers. That perspective is directly relevant to the founders we work with every day,” said Will Fischtein, Founder of Beacon Advisors.
At Beacon, Jaimie will advise founders and shareholders on transaction readiness, growth-stage capital strategy, and exit positioning, with particular focus on businesses navigating sale to strategic and financial acquirers in his core sectors.
