New Ventures BC

New Ventures BC runs a hybrid non-profit support model combining programme delivery, ecosystem education and public-access data infrastructure. It attracts founders and stakeholders through free or low-cost training, mentorship, competitions and resource hubs, while sustaining operations through government funding, philanthropic support, corporate sponsorships, ecosystem partnerships and some participation fees. Its data platforms improve discoverability between startups and investors, reinforcing its central role in the regional innovation network.

New Ventures BC is a Canadian non-profit organisation focused on supporting technology entrepreneurship in British Columbia. It operates founder education, mentorship, accelerator and competition programmes, alongside public ecosystem data products such as Capital Compass BC and BC's Capital Raising Index. Its users are primarily startup founders, scale-ups, investors and regional ecosystem stakeholders.

The organisation creates value by helping ventures validate ideas, improve go-to-market execution, develop intellectual property strategy and gain investor visibility. It does not appear to operate as a classic venture-backed software company; instead, it is funded mainly through grants, sponsorships, partnerships and limited programme fees, with several products offered free to the public as ecosystem infrastructure.
