OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW: INVESTMENTS
AEC was established to build a local Venture Capital industry capable of providing the capital needed to support the growth and success of knowledge-based companies in Alberta. To achieve this, AEC invests as a Limited Partner in technology Venture Capital funds that have,
or will establish, a presence in the province, staffed with a senior level investment professional.
By investing together with other Limited Partners in VC funds that finance early-stage, technology startups in Alberta we create access to a much larger pool of capital, while also creating access to external markets and the expert resources of these funds.
Creating a portfolio that matches capital to Alberta deal flow across various sectors and stages is a core element of our fund investment strategy. With this in mind we have targeted three types of funds for investment:
• North American funds currently headquartered outside Alberta.
• Funds that are local to Alberta.
• Fit-to-purpose funds that address critical gaps.
