The H1, 2024 Canadian venture capital data contained in this report starkly reveal two key aspects of the risk capital ecosystem. First, despite all the dire warnings from the VC and tech sectors about the strongly negative forecast impacts of the April 16 Budget capital gains inclusion rate measures, the numbers tell a vastly different story - with VC investment materially up in H1. Second, Toronto has indisputably emerged as Canada's Silicon Valley, leaving all other major contenders for the title from Montreal to Vancouver and all points in between in the dust. This is a new departure for Toronto VC activity, from being merely first along equals to undisputed front runner.
