Jamaica Venture Capital Programme (JVCP)

Entrepreneurs and small business owners have the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to fund managers in order to seek funding.

The major imperatives of the JVCP are:-

Developing a venture capital ecosystem to create an environment conducive to the establishment of a dynamic private equity/venture capital (PE/VC) industry to include legal, taxation and regulatory changes as well as significant training of local investors, fund managers and entrepreneurs.

Fostering the establishment of new venture capital and private equity funds through public and private sector collaboration with local and international fund managers.

Building strong linkages with international development partners (IDPs), the Jamaican Diaspora, as well as Latin America and Caribbean neighbours.
