Venture capital raised by C100 companies has passed the $1 billion dollar mark. Due to recent financings of Montréal startups Frank & Oak and LightSpeed Retail, money going into Canadian companies that have participated in C100 mentoring programs or that have received investments from C100 charter members reached nearly $1.1 billion in September. That is a ten-fold increase since the Silicon Valley-based nonprofit organization got underway in 2010.
