Jacques Cartier's expeditions were financed primarily by the French crown, specifically King Francis I. The king sought to expand France's presence in the New World and was interested in finding a northwest passage to Asia, which motivated his support for Cartier's voyages to the North American coast in the early 1530s. Additionally, some private investors and merchants also contributed funds in hopes of benefiting from potential trade opportunities.
