Canadian Venture Capital Investors Profile

This week, we continue to identify more venture capital firms that invest in Canadian opportunities. As I am about to move to Vancouver, some readers have also asked to find more companies based in Vancouver.

Acumen Capital Finance Partners (Alberta based)

Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited is an independent, full service investment dealer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Acumen is one of the longest established firm based in Alberta, and naturally, its clients include a large number of mining and energy related companies; it has helped mining and oil/gas companies to raise capital – this remains as its key focus, although it can also extend into the new energy sectors as well.

BC Advantage (Vancouver based)

Vancouver based BC Advantage is one of the most active life-science/cleantechl venture capital firm. It is also one of the very few VCs that actually raised capital from retail investors rather than institutions. The company invests primarly early stage companies based in British Columbia, it also receives 30% refundable tax credit from VC Government on investments up to $200,000 each year. If you are based in British Columbia, this can be your first stop to approach for investments.

IBK Capital (Toronto based)

Toronto based IBK Capital is an independent and privately owned investment banking firm which offers a full range of financial advisory services. Such services include private placements of equity and debt, going public by way of initial public offering or reverse takeover. The company has been especially an active investor in the junior mining and energy sectors, the company is involved in capital raising and has invested in other high growth sectors, the company’s clients are mainly Canadian and North American companies, but it has also involved in international projects in the past.
