We work to find, fund, and foster innovative Nova Scotia start-ups that strive to change the world. Our goal is to help those start-ups commercialize their technologies and succeed in the global marketplace.
Capital is the lifeblood of any early-stage company. Through the Nova Scotia First Fund we invest directly in emerging technology companies with high growth potential, and as a limited partner in venture capital funds that invest in Nova Scotia start-ups.
Working side-by-side with you
We’re more than just money. You get our whole team on your side. We provide hands-on business guidance, an extensive network of mentors and advisors, best practices in governance, help opening doors to co-investors, soft landing in export markets, and access to Invest Nova Scotia’s programs.
In addition, our team is actively involved in pipeline and network development, building relationships across the start-up, technology, and venture capital ecosystems in Nova Scotia and beyond.
