 Venture Capital and Public FundsTeralys Capital FundThe creation of the Teralys Capital Fund is an initiative of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and the Solidarity Fund QFL, which are each contributing $250 million. The Québec government is contributing $200 million through Investissement Québec. The fund will also solicit other institutional and private investors to raise an additional $125 million, for a total objective of $825 million. With the best business practices, the new fund should appeal to private Canadian investors and also attract foreign investors to Québec, encouraging the formation of international partnerships. The partners have selected Jacques Bernier, a recognized Québec venture capital manager, to oversee the fund. Until only recently he was Strategic Adviser to the Solidarity Fund QFL, which he joined in 2004 as Senior Vice-President, ICT. Mr. Bernier has in-depth knowledge of the venture capital sector and played a key role in the development and implementation of a new approach to venture capital in Québec. As an entrepreneur and an institutional investor specializing in technology innovation in Québec, Mr. Bernier has been directly involved in the startup of a dozen technology companies.
