GrowthWorks Capital

GrowthWorks Capital is a Canadian venture capital management firm that rose to prominence by managing labor-sponsored venture capital corporations (LSVCCs). The firm historically focused on identifying and funding high-growth potential companies in the life sciences, information technology, and clean technology sectors across Canada. At its peak, it managed significant assets through entities like the Working Opportunities Fund and the GrowthWorks Canadian Fund, providing critical early-stage and growth capital to numerous biotech and healthcare startups. Following a period of restructuring in the mid-2010s, the firm transitioned to managing the divestiture of its remaining portfolio assets. It played a foundational role in the Canadian venture ecosystem, particularly in British Columbia and Ontario.
