Canadian VC trends are part of a broad pattern of cyclical slowdown in North American and global markets since the beginning
|
|
This was evidenced in the United States in the third
quarter, when US$7.2 billion was invested in 919 companies, down 8%
from the same time last year. Canada lagged further, down 26% from the
first nine months of last year.

Among Canadian regions, Ontario experienced one of the
most substantial declines in VC activity between July and September. A
total of $163 million was invested in 36 companies in the province, or
43% less than the $283 million of Q3 2007. This gave Ontario 44% of all
disbursements nationwide, down slightly from its 46% share in the whole
of last year.

For the third consecutive quarter, cross-border activity
in the Canadian market fell in Q3 2008. American VC funds and other
foreign investors brought $97 million to domestic deals, which was less
than half of their $209 million in Q3 2007. Indeed, with 26% of all
disbursements, foreign activity declined in relative and absolute terms
and was at some distance from the 41% share held during the entire last
year.
Instead, it was Canadian private-independent funds that led VC trends in the third quarter with $102 million invested, though this was down 12% from the $116 million they accounted for in the same period in 2007. In relative terms, private funds also came out in front, with 27% of all disbursements |

Exit opportunities for Canadian portfolio companies
remained limited in 2008. In the first nine months of the year, 20
M&A exits were recorded, which was down 33% from the 30 recorded in
the same period last year. IPO exits were even more limited with only
one such exit in the first nine months of the year, compared with seven
in the same period last year. Average transaction and offering sizes
were also down 54% and 46% respectively in 2008 from 2007.
