McRock Capital

McRock Capital was founded in 2012 around a focused insight: industrial markets needed investors who understood both the physical industries being transformed and the software connecting them. The firm describes itself as the first dedicated venture capital fund manager focused on the Industrial Internet of Things, investing at the intersection of sensors and software in large industrial markets and smart cities. Its founders and team bring experience building venture-backed industrial technology companies as well as working in sectors such as power, water, oil and gas.

Today, McRock concentrates on industrial software and Industrial AI. It sees the physical world’s connected machines and infrastructure producing vast operational data, with intelligence as the next opportunity to improve how industry operates. McRock backs entrepreneurs and supports portfolio companies beyond capital, including through help with hiring, strategy, creative M&A and community. The firm is based in Canada, with offices in Toronto and Calgary, and invests in Canada, the United States, Europe and Israel.
