1. Please provide the Wikilinks for the described laudits. For example, please provide the Wiki-article for the Canadian Business Profit 500 list.
In 2016, Green was a recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. [1]
2. It is not clear what the difference is between "self-financed" and "privately owned". Please elaborate.
The fintech company was identified as a company growing fast enough for an IPO but opted to stay private due to low-interest private equity funds.
