GrowthWorks Capital

GrowthWorks is one of Canada’s leading venture capital management companies managing funds that rigorously follow core principles: structure strategic investments in growth-oriented companies, value portfolio assets conservatively, build vital industry connections and minimize risk through diversification.

They manage funds with a total of over $900 million in assets, with a primary focus on Canada’s most promising sectors: information technology, life sciences and advanced manufacturing.
