Inovia

Company Builders

We’ve been there and know what it takes. Our roots are Canadian, our network and mindset are global. We support your ambitions from seed to IPO and beyond. Together, building tech champions to positively impact the world.

More than a VC firm, more than investors, and more than partners. Above all, we’re builders, driven by purpose.

We elevate founders, companies and communities by mentoring, making connections and opening doors. By building together, we believe we can have a positive, lasting impact on the world.

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.

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.

Our team of investors and former operators provides founders with the experience and unique insight from having built enduring tech companies.

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.

Trust, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Vulnerability, Empathy are core values that define who we are.

Inovia Capital is a full-stack venture capital firm partnering 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 are fully equipped to support founders with capital, insights, and mentorship throughout their journey. Our team has 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.
