Startups

From innovative startups just getting off the ground to well-established anchor companies, BC is a fertile ground for tech companies to grow and scale.

We are sector agnostic, and our sweet spot is investing in pre-seed and seed-stage startups.

While we do not lead investment rounds,
we love to share the opportunity with other investors to fill out your round.

Investment Thesis

Our investment philosophy is centred around the following characteristics:

GEOGRAPHICAL FOCUS

 We invest in BC-based EBC-eligible companies. We believe that supporting our local community is essential, and investing in local companies is
a win-win approach for both
the investors and the community.

INNOVATIVE PRODUCT

We invest in tech start-ups (but not exclusively) that have innovative ideas that solve big problems. We want to see a compelling, unique value proposition and an excellent product-market fit.

Early
Traction

GROWING
MARKET

We seek to invest in companies that are disrupting existing large markets with a capital-efficient scalable business model. We look to see if the company has a highly sustainable competitive advantage and if they are building a cash flow positive business, leading to a high valuation in 3-7 years.

WINNING
TEAM

We believe that a great team is key to a company’s success. We look for committed founders and teams that are motivated, passionate, and willing to take risks to achieve success.
