MINISTER of Trade Paula Gopee-Scoon will join Jamaican business stalwart and billionaire, Joseph Matalon, and Republic Bank executive Karen Yip Chuck on a panel for the filming of Planting Seeds, a TV series where local entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors for the opportunity to secure funding and mentorship. In a statement on July 15, Planting Seeds said it would begin filming its latest season with the first panel on July 20. It said there would be 13 episodes filmed, some in Trinidad and Tobago and others in Jamaica, where National Commercial Bank (NCB) executive chairman Michael Lee Chin will join the panel. Matalon was named Jamaica’s richest man by several publications, with an estimated net worth of US$3.6 billion. He is the chairman of the ICD Group, an investment holding firm involved in several industries, including construction, distribution, e-commerce, insurance and outsourcing. Matalon has more than 20 years experience in transactional finance, investment and banking. He is also the director of Gleaner Co, Commodity Service Co and a former director of the Bank of Nova Scotia (Jamaica) Ltd. Planting Seeds was launched in 2016 with the aim of putting a spotlight on TT entrepreneurship. It launched its first fully integrated business-to-customer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) platform with the series in 2020. The series offers business plan training, cash flow projections, private equity funding opportunities government-enabled services, legal aid, and B2B and B2C solutions. “Since its inception, Planting Seeds has been dedicated to creating an impactful ecosystem where entrepreneurs can thrive,” the statement said. “Planting Seeds collaborates with the Government on multiple initiatives to support entrepreneurs.
