What do I need to do to get support from an investor organization?

You will need to contact an angel investor group or venture capital fund that has been designated by the Minister as eligible to participate in the Start-Up Visa Program.

You will need to convince them that you have a business idea that is worth investing in.

If you reach an agreement, they will send you a letter of support. This is proof required by CIC to show that the angel investor group or venture capital fund will support your business idea.
