Taiwania Capital

We support start-ups with investments between $10M and $20M in Europe, Israel and opportunistically on the East coast of the US. Forestay is more than just a VC fund, it’s a family. Forestay was founded as the digital tech arm of a family-oriented investment group that traces its successes in business and its enduring values back across generations. The Bertarelli family founded B-FLEXION (formerly Waypoint Capital), of which Forestay is a part, in 2012 to evolve the management of the capital realised by the sale of Serono, the global leader in biotech and healthcare that they had grown over three generations of leadership. In the decade since, B-FLEXION and its businesses have generated exceptional and lasting value. B-FLEXION is an entrepreneurial private investment firm that partners with sophisticated capital to deliver exceptional value over the generations. As well as its investment funds seeding and building businesses in technology, private equity, real estate and hedge funds, B-FLEXION also focuses on growing operating businesses in transformative industries. Building on its heritage and of that of its founder and Chairman, these have been principally in life sciences, healthcare and digital health.

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. OUR VALUES Trust, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Vulnerability, Empathy are core values that define who we are. Here are five beliefs that guide our day-to-day actions: Purpose-Led Growth: Seek consequential outcomes. Authenticity: Drive impactful conversations & connections. Inclusion: Set the bar high for DE&I. Builder’s Mindset: Own it. Grit: Strive for excellence.
