Kanata Ventures

Kanata Ventures is a Toronto-based venture capital firm established in 2020, specializing in investments in B2B scaleups from emerging markets that are poised to expand into North America. The firm focuses on early-stage investments, ranging from pre-seed to Series A, and is dedicated to supporting founders by refining their business strategies, establishing a market presence, and securing initial B2B customers in North America. By facilitating local market validation, Kanata Ventures prepares these companies for subsequent funding rounds with North American co-investors. Additionally, the firm collaborates with international partners and investors to cultivate a robust pipeline of opportunities, attracting talented global founder teams to Canada and mitigating the risks associated with market entry in North America.
