Building Breakthrough Biotech

Capital BioVentures (CBV) is a wet-lab accelerator supporting the life science start-up community by removing hurdles for Canadian innovators while fostering a collaborative and cohesive ecosystem.

CBV was founded by a group of passionate entrepreneurs, biotech professionals, and institutional experts local to the Ottawa ecosystem with a singular focus: build more successful biotech companies that commercialize and scale in Canada.

Who We Are

Mission

To unlock the full growth potential of Canadian biotech companies, empowering them to drive innovation and scale globally.

Vision

To foster a thriving, interconnected, and collaborative Canadian biotech ecosystem.

Our Core Values

Equity

Strive to offer the same access to opportunities, recognizing that some groups have historically been underrepresented and/or subject to discrimination within the biotech community.

Collaboration

Work together with stakeholders and partners to achieve common goals.

Honesty & Integrity

Uphold transparency and ethical standards in all dealings.

Excellence

Deliver on projects, and uphold the highest standards in quality and client service.

Impact

Prioritize resource allocation directly to companies (versus operations) to ensure maximum value to the ecosystem.

Who We Support

Early-stage biotech companies operating in Canada, with a focus on pre-seed/seed staged therapeutics and in-vitro diagnostics as our primary support groups.

Our Funders

We are funded by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) and the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).

We’re building an inclusive and cohesive ecosystem in the Ottawa region
