Drafting a Business Plan for a Canadian Venture Capital Fund

Main Goal The primary objective of this project is to create a comprehensive draft business plan for a Canadian VC fund specializing in dual-use technology. This project is best suited for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students with prior exposure to business research, finance, or related fields. This plan will account for: Current market dynamics. Trends in the Canadian VC ecosystem. Existing funds with a similar focus. Potential startups. Likely Limited Partners (LPs) who would invest in this fund. Students will utilize their research and AI skills to compile, synthesize, and present the information in a structured and well-formatted report. They will be provided with resources such as Crunchbase and paid versions of AI tools to support their research and analysis. For instance, they might use ChatGPT to draft initial sections of the business plan based on gathered data, or NotebookLM to organize research findings into actionable insights. Company Overview At Wealth Capital Connections, we specialize in providing strategic advice and expertise to businesses operating within capital markets, particularly venture capital firms. We are passionate about fostering innovation and delivering impactful solutions that enable our clients to navigate complex financial landscapes and achieve their goals. This project offers students an opportunity to gain insights into venture capital and dual-use technology while contributing to an impactful and innovative initiative.
