Information Venture Partners

Information Venture Partners is a Toronto-based venture capital firm that specializes in early-stage investments in North American enterprise and financial technology companies. Founded in 2014, it emerged from its predecessor, RBC Venture Partners, which had a strong focus on technology and financial services since 2001. The firm targets B2B SaaS and FinTech sectors, leveraging two decades of experience with global financial institutions to identify and nurture innovative companies. Information Venture Partners aims to assist entrepreneurs in addressing significant challenges by investing in disruptive opportunities rather than following trends. They often serve as the first institutional investors in their portfolio companies and actively seek to collaborate with like-minded co-investors. The firm emphasizes that it does not manage its companies; instead, it provides support to the entrepreneurs and leadership teams, ensuring their visions can thrive.
