Portfolio Diversification
Early investments like those made by the Venture Ontario allowed ecobee to focus on meaningful innovation that placed customer needs at the forefront of our early product development decisions. Without the strong vote of confidence given by early partners such as Venture Ontario, ecobee would not be the smart home leader that it is today."
