Jesse Brown is a Canadian media personality, entrepreneur and podcaster. He is the host of the crowdfunded Canadaland Show and its spinoff blog Canadaland. Brown is also one of five co-founders of Bitstrips Inc. that was sold to Snapchat for $64 million (not $110 million as had been widely reported). Brown's share of ownership after dilution through several funding rounds was estimated to be a small percentage. He is married to Kate Minsky who is a children's writer.
Their current home is in Toronto's trendy Palmerston neighborhood just north of College Street in Little Italy and was purchased in June 2018 for $2.3 million, they have a second investment property in the same neighborhood. Jesse and Kate's home is an elegantly restored and stylishly updated 5 bedroom, 3,000+ sq ft century home. The large 3 story semi-detached features a second floor gallery, four baths, a separate basement suite, third floor studio and gourmet chef's kitchen. The dreamy master suite features a walk-in closet, walkout to deck and a spa-like en-suite. The home is situated on a 27.5' x 127' west fronting fully landscaped lot with a rare (for the area) private drive plus a garage at the rear of the property on a lane-way. Brown and Minsky married in 2011 at a popular Toronto venue known as Wychwood Barns.
