Early-stage entrepreneurs in Victoria now have more options to get funding. Cindicates is a new Victoria-based Venture Capital Corporation (VCC) fund focused on providing early funding to local startups, supporting the local tech economy, while creating long-term value for investors.
Closely affiliated with the Capital Investment Network, Women’s Equity Lab, VIATEC, and Alacrity, Cindicates’ goal is to build an annual fund partnering with other B.C. investors. Cindicates brings their vast experience investing in, mentoring, and scaling startups and their network of investors together to help build successful companies.
Supporting Startups across B.C.
Cindicates looks across B.C., with a focus on Victoria and Vancouver Island pre-seed and seed-stage companies that are building software, AI, marketplaces, e-commerce, and consumer products.
Launched in 2021, the fund has received an overwhelmingly positive response from local CEOs, founders, and community leaders keen to reinvest in the local community and are now seeking a limited number of additional accredited B.C. investors to complete the first annual fund.
