THE EVOLUTION OF QUEBEC’S PRIVATE VENTURE CAPITAL INDUSTRY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In 2003, following the bursting of the technology bubble and the poor results recorded by public and para-public funds, it was decided to redirect efforts to support the development of a private capital industry capable of (i) adopting North American best practices (expertise and networks) and raising capital beyond public and para-public sources in Quebec and Canada, and (ii) meeting the needs of the entire financing chain.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of these efforts and, where appropriate, to draw conclusions to further strengthen the venture capital ecosystem in Quebec.
INFO CAPITAL
Info Capital brings together all the transactions and news published in our weekly newsletters since January 2023. It’s the leading source of information on private equity in Quebec!
