BCF Ventures is a Canadian corporate venture capital fund that invests in early-stage technology startups, primarily in Canada and the United States, with occasional investments in Israel and Western Europe. The fund focuses on disruptive technologies, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, transportation, logistics, supply chain, and enterprise software. BCF Ventures is a spin-off of BCF Business Law Firm, established in 1995, and leverages the firm's expertise and resources to support its portfolio companies.

The fund's investment strategy emphasizes B2B Cloud & SaaS enterprise startups that utilize artificial intelligence, big data, business intelligence, business analytics, and security. BCF Ventures typically invests at the seed and Series A stages, with initial investments around $125,000, taking minority positions and seeking pro-rata rights for future funding rounds. The fund prefers companies with low cash burn rates and aims to provide at least 18 months of runway with its investments.

BCF Ventures has a strong track record of supporting innovative startups, including Athennian, a legal entity management software company; MedStack, a privacy compliance and data interoperability solution for healthcare apps; and Adracare, a unified health cloud platform for specialty clinics and hospitals. The fund is led by CEO Sergio A. Escobar, a recognized technology entrepreneur and business mentor, and Chair of the Board Anne-Marie Boucher, a founding member of BCF Business Law Firm and active investor.
