The overview is innacurate. The BlackBerry Partners Fund is venture capital fund being CO-Managed by JLA Ventures and RBC Venture Partners. RIM is not involved in the management of the fund. RIM is, however, an anchor investor in the fund along with RBC (the bank itself not RBC Venture Partners) and Thomson Reuters.
