The trusted community where investors connect, learn, and build.
Today, VCAA is the leading association for Alberta's professional venture investment community. We are building more than a network. We are building a trusted community where investors connect, learn, and build.
Our members share a common goal: strengthening the venture investment ecosystem through meaningful relationships, professional growth, and increased access to capital.
As the technology sector continues to grow, so does our role. Guided by our vision to become the essential hub for capability, connectivity, and capital attraction, VCAA is helping create a more connected, capable, and competitive investment community.
