Canadian VC sustains robust pace as top Q2 deals raise $518 mln
Canada’s top 10 venture-capital financings in the second quarter drew $518 million from investors, up 8 percent from the $480 million that went into the top 10 deals a year earlier. The number is based on PE Hub Canada’s list of the largest deals announced from April through June, supplemented by preliminary data from Thomson Reuters. It suggests Canadian VC investment activity this year is so far keeping pace with the robust trend lines of 2016. At the end of June, VC funds invested $1.75 billion in Canada, preliminary data show, not far behind the $1.78 billion invested in the first half of last year.
