At Laidlaw Venture Partners, We Build, Incubate and Accelerate Great Companies
Experience counts. Connections matter.
Laidlaw Venture Partners (LVP) is the venture capital financing arm of Laidlaw Ltd. The team has experience in investment banking, venture formation, establishing and developing companies/teams, strategic business development, capital formation/structuring, equity research, equity sales, debt sales, as well as public and private financing.
In addition to providing financing to private companies, LVP is affiliated with the banking arm of Laidlaw Ltd., a fully licensed broker dealer. This provides a significant advantage over traditional venture and private equity firms as we can leverage Laidlaw’s significant institutional and high net worth investor networks in both private AND public markets. This allows our partner companies to enjoy better alignment of shareholder objectives and retain more decision-making power.


Target Companies
LVP will primarily focus on funding healthcare companies at various stages of development. We will consider companies in any geography and therapeutic area. Our goal is to work with a select group of companies with novel products/platforms which address unmet medical needs, in attractive commercial markets. We work with several companies each year that, when partnered with our capital markets, strategic and advisory capabilities, will maximize corporate value.
Our skills and network allow us to focus on novel therapeutics as well as on relatively low risk technologies and platforms. This could include preclinical programs, earlier stage programs in drug reformulation, med tech, etc.
