We’re celebrating big news from BDC Capital with the launch of their $𝟐𝟎𝟎𝐌 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 — and reflecting on the impact of the first! Back in 2019, MineSense was proud to be one of the portfolio companies in Fund I, which backed more than 20 industrial innovators across Canada. Together, those companies delivered game-changing results, and we’re thrilled to share one of ours: ⚡ Our X-ray fluorescence system increased ore production by 𝟏𝟖.𝟏% at a B.C. mine. That’s the kind of impact that fuels our mission — driving smarter, more sustainable mining for a stronger critical minerals future. A huge thank you to BDC Capital for their continued confidence in industrial innovation and for helping companies like ours push boundaries. We can’t wait to see the breakthroughs 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈 will bring! https://lnkd.in/gmrc6t-b #MiningInnovation #CriticalMinerals #CleanTech

Interested investors, but no lead backers. It’s one of the big problems White Star Capital general partner, Sanjay Zimmermann, sees with flagging early-stage venture capital in Canada. Lots of funds can write $250,000 or $500,000 checks, but they aren’t taking action. Now, White Star hopes to fill in “the missing piece” with a new, $50-million USD seed fund. The VC firm has secured its first close of $25 million. It plans to exclusively lead and co-lead rounds by writing initial checks from $500,oo0 to $2 million.
