Why it matters
Canada-based BRK Capital announced its Fund II has closed $20M CAD (~$14.5M USD) toward a $50M CAD target, investing in high-growth tech companies led by Black founders. Managing partner Lise Birikundavyi emphasized that backing overlooked founders surfaces high-quality deals, framing it as arbitrage investing rather than DEI. The firm, launched in 2021, plans to invest in 25 companies with check sizes of $250K–$1.5M.
