The second Innovation Growth Fund is 35 per cent greater than its predecessor fund which closed in 2019 at $130 million. This is Yaletown Partners’ fourth fund and with this recent raise, Yaletown Partners now manages more than $450 million in assets.

The fund received support from new and existing global institutional investors including pension funds, asset managers and select family offices, according to the press release.
