So far this year, completed exits involving VC-backed companies have already bested last year's total exit value by some 70%, while the number of transactions is pacing to also surpass 2016. The Canadian government has also reaffirmed its backing of the VC industry with their 2017 budget, which proposes some C$400 million for investment through the Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative. PE has had a bit of a slow go to start the year in terms of deal count, though aggregate transaction values have grown and 2017 should see overall deal value come in relatively flat against the past few years. The future is looking bright for Canada.

Further, we propose a three-point plan with expectations for lower valuations and longer hold times, increased nonbank lending, and a higher number of sub-$100 million deals.

In this edition, which normally would have included only those transactions in 1Q 2017, we decided to extend our scope, including deals completed through May 23 to make the datasets timelier and ultimately more useful.
