About Kanata Ventures
A Canadian venture firm focused on investing in B2B scaleups from emerging markets that are ready to scale into North America. We invest at the pre-seed to series A stages and add value to founders upfront by helping them assess their strategy, establish a presence in the market, and onboard their first B2B customers in North America. Through this process, we help scaleups to achieve local market validation and prepare for raising a Series A+ round with North American co-investors. We collaborate with partners and investors abroad to create a unique pipeline of opportunities in emerging markets attract the best global founder teams to settle in Canada and de-risk North American expansion.
