Invest Nova Scotia is Nova Scotia’s business development agency that works to promote economic growth and community economic development in the province by enabling business, innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship. Early stage deep technology start-ups are a key focus area for Invest Nova Scotia. They are supported through venture capital, incubation facilities, expert advice, and other acceleration initiatives. Invest Nova Scotia makes equity investments through the Nova Scotia First Fund (NSFF), a venture capital fund backed by the Nova Scotia government. NSFF’s overall objective is to generate a return for Nova Scotia. This is measured by the total value of the investment portfolio (i.e., realized distributions and unrealized changes in value) to the total amount contributed by the Nova Scotia government (Modified TVPI ratio*). This dataset gives Invest Nova Scotia’s annual TVPI ratios. * Invest Nova Scotia’s TVPI ratios represent only the gross performance of the investments; they do not account for the costs of managing the portfolio, which are included in the organization’s operating budget.
