FOREWORD

Québec Captures Over A Quarter Of Venture Capital Activity In The Country; The Most Active Province For Private Equity Deals

Québec venture capital saw $210M invested over 60 deals in Q2; 92% more than Q1 2018 but 40% lower compared to Q2 2017. Québec captured 31% of the total number of VC deals in Canada (94 out of 308) in the first half of the year and 19% of the total dollars invested ($319M out of $1.7B).

In PE, the province saw $2B invested over 92 deals in Q2 bringing the total invested dollars in the first half to $3.3B over 177 deals. There was a 10% increase in volume of deals compared to H1 2017 but a 22% drop in invested dollars ($4.2B to $3.3B).

“Venture capital investors are continuing to see the value in the high quality, innovative businesses in Québec,” says Réseau Capital CEO, Jack Chadirdjian. “The province continues to offer a magnitude of value-creation opportunities as indicated by the PE numbers.”

There were seven venture capital exits in the first half of the year in Québec. This included the $141M corporate acquisition of TVM Life Science Management portfolio company AurKa Pharma by Eli Lilly and the $100M transaction in Coveo Solutions Incorporated from a private equity firm based in the United States. Selling investors in the Coveo Solutions transaction included Tandem Expansion Fund, Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Investissement Québec and BDC Capital.

The largest private equity exit in Québec in H1 was the $3B corporate buyout of Atrium Innovations Incorporated by Nestlé. The selling investors included Fonds de solidarité and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ).
