FundedIQ holds 416 funded Natural Resources startups in Canada and keeps their funding rounds, amounts, investors, industries, locations and company details up to date. This page provides an overview of the Natural Resources startup funding landscape in Canada, along with the 100 most recently funded Natural Resources startups in Canada.

Vancouver and Toronto hold the deepest concentrations of these companies. Natural Resources startups in Canada closed 482 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 273 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $6.9B in disclosed capital. The median disclosed round is $2.0M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $690K and $8.0M.

Vancouver leads as the primary center for these ventures. Small teams dominate the segment, meaning targets are typically early stage with lean operations. This profile favors vendors who sell to founders or analysts seeking nascent entries. The concentration of tiny headcounts indicates a market of lean startups rather than scaled enterprises.
