VA Angels, Canada's most active angel investing group, announces the addition of four new companies to their investment portfolio.


The four new additions to the VA Angels portfolio are diverse in nature, which is a reflection of VA Angels' desire to not pigeonhole themselves into a particular investing category. While all are technology related, they cover the spectrum of technology industries, from enterprise, to gaming tech, to biotech, and finally to oil and gas tech. Of the four new portfolio companies, 3 of the companies come from across the province of Alberta and one is based in BC. In addition to investing in 3 new portfolio companies, VA Angels have decided to invest in Innovative Trauma Care, a current portfolio company, for a second round of funding. The approximate investment total made by VA Angels into these Canadian startups is 1.3 million dollars.


"The four deals we have done over the last quarter are reflective of the quality of deals VA Angels is being presented with" says R. Stewart Thompson, Founder and CEO of VA Angels. "It is indicative of the health of the technology sector as a whole in Canada, and we cannot wait to see where it is going."


The four new portfolio companies are:
