In celebration of February Black History month and the BIPOC community, VEF is bringing together a leading group of change-makers across our regional investment landscape who are actively funding some of the most diverse, inclusive, equitable – and impactful companies in BC and beyond. With more than $4B in investment being infused into high growth companies, along with a dozen companies reaching $1B+ valuations, 2021 was an unprecedented year in BC.

What about entrepreneurial innovation and the investment landscape are starting to change the dynamic of what company growth looks like? Is access to capital really poised to be more equitable in the near future? On both sides of the equation, how do you find your alignment in what will become your most purposeful partner?
