Overview: Although geographically Canada and the US could not be closer, their venture capital markets are fundamentally different. Industry Canada gives an overview of the Canadian and US venture capital markets and provides analyses of the trends in the two markets and the differences in their structure and performance. In Canada, the major participants in the venture capital market over the past few years have been the Labour Sponsored Venture Capital Corporations (LSVCCs), corporate funds associated with industrial and financial corporations and private independent funds that raise funds from institutional and individual investors. The dominance of the LSVCCs, along with a growing participation by government agencies, shows that the Canadian venture capital market is very dependent upon government involvement and support.
