Canada’s first Black-led venture capital firm
BKR Capital (BKR) invests in promising Black-owned enterprises in the technology space. In response to both the historic underfunding of Black-owned enterprises in Canada and ongoing barriers to equitable financing, BKR emphasizes making early investments in promising founders and companies and improving access to private capital for Black-led enterprises.
Through the Black Innovation Fund II, BKR is working to cultivate a pipeline of opportunities addressing pressing issues such as sustainable living solutions, improving quality of life and health, and inclusive technology, in line with BKR’s focus on creating a more inclusive and accessible world. For Boann, investing in BKR is an extension of our mission to foster equitable access to financing, invest in solutions that cultivate a bright future for underserved communities, and build an impact investing marketplace that brings in all social finance players with a role to play in advancing positive outcomes for people and the planet.
