Invest Nova Scotia Venture Capital Investments

Invest Nova Scotia is Nova Scotia’s business development agency that works to promote economic growth and community economic development in the province by enabling business, innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship.

Early stage deep technology start-ups are a key focus area for Invest Nova Scotia. They are supported through venture capital, incubation facilities, expert advice, and other acceleration initiatives.

Invest Nova Scotia makes equity investments through the Nova Scotia First Fund (NSFF), a venture capital fund backed by the Nova Scotia government. Venture capital-backed start-ups typically have a greater economic impact than their non-backed peers, demonstrating stronger growth in revenue, employment and assets. Invest Nova Scotia is driven by generating financial returns on its fund, and also seeks to leverage its deals with other venture capital and angel co-investors, attracting new capital and expertise for the region.
