Private equity investment in Canada hit a record $30.9 billion in the first half of 2025, up 258% from last year and surpassing all of 2024, according to the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association. Mid-market deals under $25 million dominated, but a few megadeals pushed the average to $95.8 million.
Venture capital lagged, with $2.9 billion raised—the lowest first-half total since 2020—despite a modest Q2 uptick. Average VC deal size held at $11.4 million as investors favored fewer, larger transactions. Exit activity was muted, with minimal M&A and no IPOs.
