POSITION OVERVIEW

The Associate Principal will work out of BDC Capital’s Vancouver office (hybrid office-home setup), playing a pivotal role with the Seed Fund investment team. The individual is expected to be a highly organized, motivated and enthusiastic self-starter who works on multiple initiatives with light supervision. Key responsibilities include but not limited to deal sourcing, leading diligence, staying deeply connected with the VC ecosystem and to play a pivotal role with the BDC Seed Fund team. Confident and positive, this individual is also high-energy, cultured, and capable of easily interacting with senior management at BDC Capital and portfolio companies alike. Flexibility and willingness to get involved in many different aspects of the Seed Fund and portfolio companies are required; given no two days are ever the same in Venture Capital, flexibility of time and effort is paramount to be successful in this dynamic role.

Team overview

The BDC Seed Fund is currently gearing up to launch Seed Fund I, targeting to invest in world-class Seed-stage entrepreneurs across Canada. This new fund will lead investments, work with companies across all Seed-stages and collaborate with Accelerators. Investments will focus on Canadian software companies with potential to shape the next decade of innovation. The team also manages a legacy portfolio, companies from which have gone on to raise $1B in capital over the last decade, generating an outsized impact on the Canadian VC ecosystem. The dedicated Seed Fund team works very closely with portfolio companies and uses its experience and expertise to assist in growing these companies beyond Seed and to successful exits.
