Is venture capital the right type of financing for you?

Venture capital provides start-up companies with the funds they need to drive accelerated growth. It’s an outstanding springboard for a successful launch and rapid growth.

The venture financing provided by Desjardins Capital is called “patient” capital because short-term return is not our primary focus. Since our financing solution horizon is medium to long term, you can realize your immediate potential and we can support you over a long period of time.
