VC funds poured more than $2 billion into these growth and late-stage rounds, the largest sum invested over a six-month period in 18 years, according to Thomson Reuters data.

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.
