Claudio Rojas, CEO of NACO at World Angel Investment Summit in Calgary, Alberta. June 2019.
This is the 10th Annual Report on Angel Investment Activity in Canada, reporting on the investments made by angel groups in 2019. It is based on responses from 30 active angel groups of which 25 had made investments. The groups reported 299 investments that attracted $163.9 million of investment by angel investors. This is an increase in the amount invested compared with 2018 (+18.7%) but a significant decline in the number of investments (-45.3%). This is because there has been a large increase in themean size of investment per company compared with 2018 ($1.5m compared with $282,000 in 2018). This is largely an outcome of one very large and atypical investment. Nevertheless, the rise in the average size of investment is also seen in median value which increased from $120,000 in 2018 to $190,000 in 2019.
