An objective investor.
An astute partner.

Wade K. Dawe is an Atlantic Canadian entrepreneur and skilled investor. Fiercely independent throughout the entirety of his career, he achieved early success internationally in the resource sector and went on to play a pivotal role in a number of companies as a financier and company founder.

Wade has transformed and sold public and private companies across technology, medical services, mining, and oil & gas, completing transactions in excess of two billion dollars. He has both founded and co-founded successful companies, including Keeper Resources Inc. (2003) which was sold for $51.6 million in 2008, and Brigus Gold Corp. (2010) which was acquired by Primero Mining Corp. in 2014 in an all-share deal valued at $351 million. Wade co-founded Resolute Health Corporation in 2017 and rapidly grew the company before selling it to a private equity firm in early 2022. Most recently, Torrent Capital, a fund he established in 2017, formed a partnership with the Port of Argentia which is destined to become a landmark national hub for green energy initiatives.

Wade holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Memorial University (MUN), where he sits on the President’s Advisory Council. His philanthropic activities include establishing the annual James R. Pearcey Entrepreneurial Scholarship at MUN, funding DC Makes, an entrepreneurship-based program at the Discovery Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and establishing a scholarship program at Dalhousie University in honor of his close friend, Senator Don Oliver. Wade is a fellow of the Creative Destruction Lab, where he mentors young entrepreneurs. In 2023, he was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year in the Canadian province of Newfoundland.
