Upper Canada Equity Fund is an early stage equity investment fund headquartered in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada that invests in pursuit of financial and social returns.
Unlike traditional venture capital firms that often work towards the sale of a company to gain a return, Upper Canada Equity Fund deploys patient capital through a unique private-public investment model with the goal of building enterprises that boost rural economic diversification and contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The fund is partnered with DMZ, one of Canada's top university business incubators, and is co-located with a local Community Futures organization, which provides debt finance and acceleration services to entrepreneurs.
