Ross Video At The Forefront

Ross Video was founded in 1974 in Montreal, Canada, by John Ross. A keen pilot, John sold the World War II trainer airplane he had painstakingly rebuilt over a two-year period for $3,500, and used the money as seed capital to start the company.

To this day, this is the only investment that has been made in Ross Video; the company has been self-funded since then and has grown organically through reinvestment of profits. Acquisitions have also been funded without external venture capital. David Ross, John’s son and Ross Video’s CEO, now owns 90 percent of Ross Video. Company employees own the remaining 10 percent.
