a uniquely qualified Deep Tech Venture firm
Most VCs lack real-world startup experience, but not us. We’re massively successful serial entrepreneurs with multiple exits under our belt.
Our Deep Tech Approach
We invest in the next frontier of computing and its applications, reshaping large-scale behaviour, driven by the collapsing cost of intelligence and defensible through tech and data moats.
Specifically, we invest in five key areas: Vertical AI Platforms, Physical AI, AI Infrastructure, Advanced Computing Hardware, and Smart Energy.
We are based in Toronto, with a presence in Montreal and NYC, and invest globally in deep tech. We actively write 5-7 cheques per year, with our sweet spot being in the $1M to $3M USD range.
Revenue is not required. We focus on supporting pre-seed and seed-stage founders and design our approach around what’s best for them. We’re ready to lead rounds but are also happy to co-lead or join other early-stage investors with the capacity to follow-on with existing investments.
What we are ultimately looking for are companies with the potential to become uniquely world-class: category-defining businesses with the ability to set the standard in important markets. In deep tech, that usually means a product or platform built on something extremely hard to build and extremely hard to copy, with a durable technology moat, data moat, or both.
In short, we are looking to invest with high conviction in accordance with our deep tech thesis.
For us, investing is more than writing a cheque. We only invest when we have deep domain expertise to help a startup scale. If we can’t offer meaningful value beyond cash, we pass on the opportunity.
Once an investment is made, we’re along for the ride. We provide ongoing mentorship and coaching grounded in our real-life entrepreneurial experience to help you navigate every step of your journey.
From the PC revolution to the rise of the internet to mobile computing and now AI, we’ve seen several technology trends and platform shifts come and go. Understanding these transformational shifts helped us decide where to work and what to build. And now, they help us zero in on where to invest.
Our US$30 million third fund invests in the next frontier of computing and its applications. We’re excited to back the bold deep tech visionaries, disruptors and category-creators who are leveraging recent trends to build something massive and new for the future.
We know how to turn a bold idea into a prototype, and then transform it into a disruptive product while building a massively successful business in the process.
