Rotman estate establishes Catalyst venture fund at U of T

The Univ of Toronto will launch a $45-million Rotman Catalyst Fund using a $30-million gift from the estate of Joseph Rotman to the U of T's Rotman School of Management. The university will match the gift, directing $15 million to the venture fund and $15 million on other priorities such as scholarships, faculty positions and infrastructure investments. The venture fund was conceived by Rotman in collaboration with school leaders shortly before his death in January 2015. The Catalyst Fund will be used to support initiatives to transform management education, increase the impact of its students and "new thinking"....
