Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative (VCCI)
Announced as part of the Government of Canada’s 2017 budget, the original VCCI successfully capitalized four private-sector led funds-of-funds and eight venture capital (VC) funds.
In total, the VCCI raised more than $1.76 billion — $1.4 billion of that from private investors. Our team is proud to support the government once again by managing the renewed VCCI announced in Budget 2021.
