We invest equity capital in Canadian mid-market growth businesses as a minority investor. In partnership with management teams and stakeholders, we work to accelerate growth and to create the next generation of national and global champions.
Since inception in 2017, we have partnered with dozens of growth-oriented Canadian enterprises and today manage several capital pools totaling approximately $900 million. We are currently investing from Growth Equity Partners Fund III, a $300 million capital pool launched in 2024.
Equity investments from $3M to $45M
We have a flexible investment platform that allows us to be the sole investor, lead investor, or co-investor in an equity transaction—allowing us to acquire ownership stakes up to 49%—for growth capital or an ownership transition.
We are looking for established, profitable companies with:
- a proven business model with demonstrated products or services;
- an experienced and financially committed management team; and
- a history of stable positive cash flows.
For late stage, innovation-based businesses showing strong potential for meaningful scale, check out our Growth Venture Fund.
For mezzanine, cash flow or quasi-equity financing, check out our Growth & Transition Capital solutions.
