FOREWORD

Record Breaking CAD $6.2B Invested in 2019

Following years of consistent investment growth across all stages in the ecosystem, Canadian venture capital investment reached impressive new heights in 2019 with a record CAD $6.2B invested over 539 deals. This is 69% more than the CAD $3.7B invested in 2018 and three times more than when the CVCA began market analysis in 2013. Q4 2019 significantly contributed to the year’s total, with CAD $1.6B invested over 144 deals.

The exit environment was healthy in 2019, with 40 VC-backed exits (the same amount in 2018) valued at CAD $3B, triple the value from 2018. There were three notable exits on the public markets:Lightspeed POS Inc.’s unicorn-level debut on TMX with a market cap

of $1.1B. The company was backed by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), iNovia Capital and Teralys Capital

Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. went public on NASDAQ valued at $468M and backed by investors that included BDC Healthcare Fund, Fonds de solidarité FTQ and inovia Capital

Lumira Ventures-backed Edesa Biotech’s Reverse-Takeover (RTO) now listed on NASDAQ with a market cap of $49M

“The performance of venture capital investment in 2019 is beyond positive and an indication of sustained confidence in the Canadian ecosystem,” said Kim Furlong, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association. “Canadian entrepreneurs have continued to aggressively grow their companies and Canadian VCs are helping push Canadian innovation forward.”

Excluding mega-deals (CAD $50M+), the average deal size in 2019 was $5.6M, an 11% increase from $5M the previous year. Signalling the strength of the Canadian VC market: ten of the 28 mega-deals were over $100M and included five which exceeded $200M:$515M VC growth financing of St. John’s-based Verafin from a

syndicate of investors that included Information Venture Partners,  BDC Co-Investments, Northleaf Capital and Teralys Capital

by a syndicate which included Fonds de solidarité FTQ, and OMERS Growth Equity

Montreal-based Element AI’s $200M series B round from investors that included Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), BDC Capital Co-Investments and Real Ventures

Canadian information and communication technology (ICT) companies continued to take in the majority of investment, receiving 66% (CAD $4.1B over 308 deals) of total VC dollars in 2019. Life sciences received a 17% share (CAD $1.1B over 177 deals) while cleantech companies took a 7% share (CAD $407M over 29 deals).

40 venture capital-backed exits in 2019 were valued at CAD $3B; triple the amount in 2018

VENTURE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS // 2019

Key Findings

For the third successive quarter in a row, Canadian VC investment crossed the $1B mark with $1.6B invested over 144 deals bringing the year to a record $6.2B over 539 deals, 69% more than the $3.7B in 2018 and three times more than in 2014

The average deal size reflected this sharp increase and ended the year at $11.6M, almost double the average for the previous 5-year period from 2014-2018 ($6.1M)

A record high 28 $50M+ mega-deals accounted for 54% of total VC investments, up from its 33% share in 2018.

Excluding mega-deals, the average deal size in 2019 was $5.6M, a 11% increase from $5M the previous year. A barometer of the strength of the Canadian VC market was that 10 of these 28 mega-deals were over $100M and included 5 which exceeded $200M:

$515M VC growth financing of St. John’s-based Verafin from a syndicate of investors that included Information Venture Partners, BDC Co-Investments, Northleaf Capital and Teralys Capital

Montreal-based Element AI’s $200M series B round from investors that included Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), BDC Capital Co-Investments and Real Ventures

There were 42 deals between $20M-$50M totaling $1.3B or a fifth of total VC dollars invested, 121 deals between $5M-$20M totaled $1.1B (18% share) and 161 deals between $1M-$5M totaling $375M (6% share)

Ontario-based companies received 39% of investment ($2.4B); Quebec-based companies received 25% ($1.6B) followed by BC-based companies with a 20% share ($1.3B)

Toronto-based companies received 30% ($1.9B over 157 deals) of total dollars disbursed, with Montreal-based companies ($1.1B over 128 deals) and Vancouver-based companies ($1.1B over 58 deals) each receiving a 17% share

ICT companies grabbed 66% of total dollars invested this year ($4.1B over 308 deals) with life sciences

receiving a 17% share ($1.1B over 117 deals). Cleantech companies received a 7% share ($407M over 29 deals)

Early stage companies received 43% ($2.7B over 244 deals) of total investment; growth equity deals accounted for 28% ($1.7B over 24 deals) and later stage 23% ($1.4B over 82 deals)

It was a very healthy year with 40 VC-backed exits (same as in 2018) with a total value of $3B tripled the amount from last year. These included 3 IPOs:

Lightspeed POS Inc.’s unicorn-level debut on TMX with a market cap of $1.1B. The company was backed by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), iNovia Capital and Teralys Capital
