Pelorus Venture Capital Ltd.

Pelorus Venture Capital Ltd. is an Atlantic Canadian regional venture capital firm headquartered in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (the row's ''Saint John's'' spelling without a province identifier is consistent with the Newfoundland capital), providing seed- and early-stage capital to innovative small and medium-sized companies operating in information and communications technology (ICT), medical technology, and adjacent knowledge-economy sectors across Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island). The firm operates as part of the broader Atlantic-Canadian regional-venture-capital ecosystem alongside Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)-supported programs, BDC Capital regional initiatives, Innovacorp (NS), and provincial innovation agencies. Pelorus is named after a navigational instrument used for ship bearings, reflecting the maritime-region identity. Typical initial check sizes are in the CAD 250,000 to CAD 2 million range at seed and Series A stages, with aggregate AUM modest and consistent with regional-boutique VC scale. Detailed current fund vintages, named general partners, and comprehensive portfolio-company disclosures are not extensively documented in mainstream financial-industry databases.
