NAventures (National Bank)


NAventures is NBC's corporate venture capital arm. We invest in early stage companies that can add strategic value to NBC (including clients, employees, partners, processes, operations and tech). Our mandate is broad, our typical investment verticals include Fintech, Proptech, Insurtech and Cybersecurity. Traditionally we make our first investment at Seed or Series A but can make a first investment at Series B. We follow in later rounds. We usually don't lead rounds but have done so on several occasions. We invest in Canada, the USA, Europe and Israel.
