It’s the summer of funding for our network Foresight alumni, who have collectively raised more than $88 million in funding in the last month alone. Their impressive accomplishments will help them scale their technologies and expand their operations to new markets domestically and globally.

Here are a few of the highlights: 

ZS2 Technologies received $2 million from Emissions Reduction Alberta to accelerate the development of carbon-neutral cement. 

Othersphere, a Victoria based company that is developing software to help determine the best places to build new production assets for zero- and low-emission commodities, has secured $3 million in funding. 

Anaconda Systems was awarded $2.5 million in funding from the Government of Canada, which will allow the company to scale up its innovative composting system. 

SenseNet, which uses an ultra-low power sensor network to detect forest fires, has secured a $1 million investment. 

CarbonCure secured USD $80 million in funding and plans to devote a bulk of the investment to expansion into Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia. 

Recap

To date, our network of 1,000+ Foresight-supported ventures have raised $1.3+ billion in capital, generated $390+ million in revenue, and created 7,150+ high-paying jobs. In total, the economic impact of our alumni companies is more than $2 billion. 

We are inspired by the contributions our alumni companies are making to Canada’s transition to a net zero economy, and we are so excited to see what comes next for these innovators.
