We partner with founders to build impactful and enduring global companies.
With investments spanning from pre-seed to pre-IPO, and a team of seasoned investors, operators, and advisors, we support founders with capital, insights, and mentorship at every stage. We’ve been at the forefront of technology shifts since the dawn of the internet and mobile era in the ’90s - and today, we continue that legacy by backing innovators in emerging technologies, including Generative AI.
OUR MISSION
We actively support founders to build global, sustainable tech companies.
We established Inovia on the premise that a top-tier Canada-headquartered VC was missing. The country was full of amazing talent but needed support to cultivate its potential rather than see it all exported to the US. What we envisioned back in 2007 remains unchanged and still drives everything we do today as Company Builders.
Since our inception, Inovia isn’t just about providing capital to companies; it’s about creating wealth: economic wealth, intellectual wealth, and financial wealth, and also supporting our ecosystem and our communities at every level, especially in our backyard.
Canadian Roots, Global Network: With access to a strong network of ecosystem partners, advisors and experts in North America and Europe, our firm offers everything it takes to support founders’ global ambitions.
Seasoned Partner: Our team of investors and former operators provides founders with the experience and unique insight from having built enduring tech companies.
Operator-Led Mindset: We are company builders with an operator-led mindset creating value at all stages. Our team is eager to roll up their sleeves to support founders from seed to IPO and beyond.
