Why Venture Capital

Most traditional funding sources consider new innovation-based startups “too risky”. As a result, some of the most promising innovations simply perish and die. But not in New Brunswick. Our Venture Capital Fund fills that gap so New Brunswick’s most enterprising entrepreneurs can take flight.

Choosing the financing that meets your needs isn’t easy. While several combinations are often used, many entrepreneurs overlook the value a venture capital investment from us can bring:

• You are gaining a minority partner that is focused on your long-term growth and success, and exits when you reach the top.
• Receiving an equity investment from us can strengthen your balance sheet enough to obtain additional capital from other funding sources.
• The due diligence process we undertake to assess your opportunity boosts your credibility in the eyes of other investors and financial institutions.
• There is no monthly payment or accumulation of interest.

As one of your shareholders, we can share our business expertise, help you find experts, help establish best practices for corporate governance, and get you ready for the follow-on investments you’ll need to grow and expand.
