The CVCA - Canada's Venture Capital & Private Equity Association - represents the majority of private equity companies in Canada, with over 1500 members. CVCA members have over $75 billion in capital under management, in three distinct market segments:

• Buyout is characterized chiefly by risk investment in established private or publicly listed firms that are undergoing a fundamental change in operations or strategy. Buyout funds are often called such, even if their mandates are not exclusively buy out related.
• Mezzanine is characterized chiefly by use of Subordinated Debt, or preferred stock with an equity kicker, to invest largely in the same type of companies and deals as buyout funds.
• Venture Capital is characterized generally by investment in early stage companies, mostly in technology businesses.

The CVCA is a leading source for advocacy, networking, information and professional development for venture capital and private equity professionals

Please join CVCA's President, Executive Director and other members' of western Canada's venture capital & private equity community at this networking reception.
