WUTIF invests in promising early-stage technology ventures in British Columbia, such as those being developed at B.C.'s universities and institutions. This includes communications and information technology, health and life sciences technologies, physical sciences, energy and fuel cells. The Fund will strive towards a broad portfolio, such that no more than 25% of its investments are in any one particular technology sector.
The Fund will co-invest with others (e.g. angels, founders, partners) in startup companies that are seeking their first external financing round beyond the initial "love" money stage. Specifically, the target is companies requiring less than $500,000 with valuations well under $4 million (i.e. closer to $1 million).
