What We Offer
Stage of Growth
We invest in companies ready to scale commercially, typically raising a Series A or subsequent round.

Our cheque sizes range on average from ~$3 million to ~$10 million depending on the growth stage. We invest alongside other investors.

Our Investment Criteria
Is Your Company a Fit?
To be considered for investment, companies should demonstrate:
Potential for financial returns
We take into consideration the strength and experience of the management team, the strategic direction of the company, unique product differentiation and other factors that indicate high potential for financial return.
Alignment to one or more investment theme
We invest in companies that align with one or more of InBC’s investment themes and show intention to define and measure impact.
Diverse sectors and regions
We are looking for companies in diverse sectors and operating in any region in B.C.
Strong connection to BC
We look for companies growing jobs and driving economic benefits to B.C., which may include developing intellectual property or advancing research and development.
Readiness for Growth
We seek companies that are prepared for the next big step, with customer traction and some revenue and a solid plan for using the investment to accelerate growth.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks
We assess performance related to DEI and ESG or the company’s roadmap for developing and implementing ESG and DEI practices, and the integration of these practices within their risk management framework.
Note meeting all criteria does not guarantee an investment. InBC invests responsibly, with a portfolio approach that balances strength and risk across our portfolio at any given time. Companies that may not be a fit for InBC at this time are encouraged to stay in touch.
