Killick Capital Venture Fund

In plain language

St. John's-based private equity and venture firm (founded 2004, 69+ investments). Primarily invests in NL-based tech-driven startups with high growth potential, but also does later-stage and non-tech deals. Portfolio: CoLab (Nov 2025 investment), Avalon Holographics, Mysa, Spellbook. Killick's Venture Fund 3 co-invested alongside Venture NL. Real Newfoundland capital with local mentorship — principals actually know the companies. Dilutive, situational: great if you have a scalable business and can absorb the governance; wrong tool if you need grant-style non-dilutive money.
