We recently interviewed with Techcrunch on Canada’s booming startup market alongside the red hot global VC investment landscape. Canada is in a venture explosion today, leading to results that are “unprecedented” for the country. In the first half of 2021, Canadian startups raised $6.3 billion across 414 deals, per CB Insights data. Both numbers compare favorably to Canada’s 2020 results, when 617 deals led to $2.9 billion in total capital raised by Canadian startups. Canada has already bested its previous record in venture dollars invested ($4.3 billion, 2019), and is on pace to beat its all-time deal count as well (720, 2018).
