New VCs: Avrio

In the midst of the venture capital slow down here in Canada, It's nice to see a few new funds plant their stakes in the ground. Avrio Ventures has quietly been building a solid portfolio with their first fund, which is focused on investments in neutraceuticals, industrial bioproducts and food technologies. Get to know them; with a team that includes Bud Kirchner, you can bet this is the first of several funds.
