Brightspark and Richardson GMP working together

Brightspark, a Canadian venture capital firm, is expanding access to early-stage venture capital investments for wealthy individuals—through working with wealth management firms.

Richardson GMP is the first such firm in Canada to offer investment opportunities through the Brightspark platform.

“By making the Brightspark platform accessible to Canadian wealth management firms, thousands more accredited investors now have an opportunity to invest funds from their existing portfolios in an asset class that was previously inaccessible,” says a release from Brightspark.
