investments
Welcome to InvestCo, where we offer our clients two distinct avenues for investment. The first channel caters to smaller “feasibility” level investments, while the second channel is dedicated to larger investments designed for ambitious “development” projects.
This strategy aligns seamlessly with the MTA Commercialization Pathway model, a comprehensive approach that guides ventures from the conceptualization stage through feasibility assessment, development, and ultimately, a successful launch.
Feasibility-level investments extend up to a maximum of $25,000, contingent upon the recipient’s ability to provide corresponding funds, which may be sourced from Government programs.
MTA can invest up to $400,000 for Development. InvestCo’s share is capped at 50% of the total round capital. Private Angels must also invest a minimum of $400,000 for the Development level.
Our Capabilities
Invest in domestic and international start-ups and scale-ups
We recognize the funding challenges that numerous startups face, impeding their growth in Canada and globally. At MTA InvestCo, we offer a solution. By leading investments in MTA’s top-tier companies and collaborating with local Angels, we provide essential capital.
Ensure we are investing in sound business ideas
In Manitoba, start-ups often face capital challenges when trying to grow. InvestCo’s assistance helps them overcome this hurdle and achieve key milestones. This sets them up well for securing Series A VC funding, a mobile capital source, in the future.
