Canadian FinTech Investors

53 funds

Canada has 53 venture capital funds actively investing in fintech startups. This list includes early-stage generalists like 7 Gate Ventures and Apex Innovative Investments, which deploy capital from seed through Series A, alongside larger growth-focused vehicles such as BDC Growth Venture Fund, which commits up to $100 million annually to late-stage companies. Check sizes range from $100K at the pre-seed stage to over $100 million for mature businesses approaching profitability.

The cohort spans geography from Vancouver to Toronto to Montreal, with several funds deliberately targeting underserved regions outside major tech hubs. Sector focus within fintech varies by fund stage. Early-stage investors emphasize SaaS infrastructure, blockchain, and payments, while growth and buyout-focused vehicles often prioritize financial services more broadly.

A notable subset of capital, including BDC's Thrive Platform and Women in Technology Venture Fund totaling $500 million, explicitly targets women founders building technology companies.
