Scaling strategies drive $562 mln raised by Canada’s top VC deals in Q2
Canada’s venture capital market showed no signs of slowing in Q2. The market’s top 10 second-quarter VC financings raised $562 million from investors. That’s on par with the $561 million drawn by the top 10 deals a year earlier. The estimate is based on PE Hub Canada’s list of the largest rounds announced from April through June, supplemented by Thomson Reuters data. It suggests that VC investment activity this year is continuing to keep pace with the robust trend lines of 2016-2017. In fact, preliminary data point to growth in dollars flowing to technology sectors in the first half of 2018.
