Entrepreneur of the Year
Ernst & Young named CADVision's founder Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 — one of Canada's most prestigious business awards.
National Recognition
Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year is judged on innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to the business and community. CADVision's decade-long run — from university rent money to Calgary's #1 ISP — made the case on its own.
The Year of the Exit
The award landed in the same year CADVision was acquired by PSINet Canada — a rare double: recognized for building the company and rewarded for selling it at the top of the market.
Built on cash flow. Sold at the peak. Honoured on the way out.
In Good Company
It joined a shelf that already held Top 40 Under 40 (three times), Alberta's 50 Most Influential, and Calgary's #1 ISP.
