NBIF is Canada’s longest-running publicly funded venture capital firm, investing in ambitious founders building globally competitive technology companies from New Brunswick.

With an evergreen fund of more than $100 million, NBIF provides pre-seed and seed-stage capital, strategic guidance, and long-term partnership to entrepreneurs with the potential to scale. NBIF works alongside founders from their earliest stages of growth, helping them secure follow-on capital, build strong teams, and access the networks needed to compete in global markets.

Since 2002, NBIF has invested directly in more than 100 companies and helped attract hundreds of millions of dollars in private capital into New Brunswick’s innovation economy. Its portfolio spans sectors including cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, digital health, energy innovation, agritech, and enterprise software.

As a catalytic investor, NBIF is focused on building markets rather than competing with them. By partnering with angels, venture funds, institutions, and strategic investors, NBIF helps unlock the capital required to grow companies that create jobs, retain talent, and strengthen the province’s economic future.

NBIF’s mission is simple - invest early, stay committed, and help build companies that scale.
