PE funds raise record $16 billion in 2013, but VCs look to 2014 for growth in commitments
Canadian buyout, mezzanine and related PE funds appear to be on course to raise a record $16 billion-plus in 2013. It would be nice to report similar growth in the pool managed by Canada’s venture capital industry. While 2013 saw improved levels of VC investment activity, including some truly major company financings – Enerkem, HootSuite and Shopify, to name only some of the largest – it was not a stellar year for raising funds.
