Glen Ventures, affiliated with the McGill University Health Centre, plans to use the funds to drive product development and go-to-market strategies for early-stage healthtech companies. The firm aims to invest in startups with intellectual property stemming from Quebec public research institutions and is committed to connecting founders with potential investors to prepare them for Series A rounds. This initiative is part of the province&#8217;s five-year innovation strategy, with the Eur\u00eaka fund serving as a bridge between academic research and industry to spur innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glen Ventures, a new venture capital firm focused on healthtech, has secured a $5 million CAD investment from the Eur\u00eaka investment fund, a Qu\u00e9bec government-backed initiative.
