BC Discovery Fund is a diversified venture capital investment fund which allows investors to participate in the emerging technology industry in British Columbia. The Fund issues its shares under the Venture Capital Corporation (VCC) program, which provides investors with a 30% refundable tax credit on investments up to $200,000 annually.
In addition to enabling participation in innovative, local companies, BC Discovery Fund provides retail investors access to venture capital investment opportunities, which are often only accessible to institutional shareholders and "angel" investors.

Discovery Capital expects to continue its successful track record in venture capital investment and fund management through the BC Discovery Fund.
