Go Capital Fund

We set up the $50 million Go Capital Fund in 2006 to create and support Quebec-based seed-stage firms developing new solutions in clean tech, information technology and life sciences.

Capital in motion

The Go Capital venture fund was managed by BDC Capital, which also acted as a limited partner.

This fund is closed to new investments and now focused on supporting existing portfolio companies.

Our focus

  • Cross-sector partners — federal, provincial and private
  • Dollar-for-dollar matching — raising capital to $100 million
  • Building competitiveness — giving Quebec firms a global market boost

Going collaborative

The fund brought together the major players in Quebec’s venture capital industry. Partners included:

  • FIER Partenaires
  • Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec
  • Fonds de solidarité FTQ
  • Fondaction CSN
