About Cory Janssen

Cory is President of Galt Capital, a private investment firm, and co-founder of AltaML, a developer of machine learning software. He is the former co-founder of Investopedia.com, a financial education site that provided content and tools to help educate individual investors. From its founding in 1999, Investopedia became one of the most popular financial sites on the Web, attracting over 3.5 million visitors per month at the time of its sale to Forbes Media in 2007. During that time Investopedia made the Alberta Venture Fastest Growing Companies list a number of times, coming in at #2 in both 2005 and 2006, and #5 in 2007. The business model for Investopedia was then replicated through Janalta Interactive Inc., a holding company for digital media properties, that currently publishes over a dozen websites.

Cory is past-President of the Edmonton chapter for Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO) and active in the Edmonton entrepreneurial community as a member of the A100 as well as the Venture Mentoring Service (VMS) program at the University of Alberta. He also sits on the boards of Brace Tool, a private oilfield tools company, the Canadian Brewhouse, a private restaurant chain, and Edmonton Global, a new economic development corporation owned by the municipalities in the Edmonton region.
