Investment Focus
We support transformational growth by focusing on tech-enabled companies primarily in Canada and the U.S. We focus on two principal themes characterized by digital disruption reshaping industries: Smart Cities and Smart Enterprise.
SMART CITIES
We partner with companies that leverage technology to make cities more efficient, sustainable, and livable. We support solutions in critical physical and digital infrastructure.
Our approach is aligned with evolving urban demands, addressing areas where government initiatives and private investment converge to meet smart city goals.
-
Smart cities rely on smart infrastructure to thrive. The UN estimates that 68% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, up from today’s 57%. As urban populations continue to rise, so too does energy demand, housing shortages, costs, and environmental impacts. We seek to partner with companies who are addressing these challenges by innovating across proptech, energy transition, as well as food and resources.
-
We believe changes to global world order will pose increased supply chain disruptions in the future. At the same time, we see autonomous and non-carbon-based energy vehicles leveraging new technologies to create intelligent supply chain. From smart transportation to the internet of things, there will be a greater focus on cost optimization, data intelligence, increased safety and reduced environmental impact. We seek to partner with companies who are innovating across data and communications, defense and cybersecurity, as well as transportation and logistics.
SMART ENTERPRISE
We partner with companies transforming industries through technology solutions. We support technology-enabled services leveraging artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technologies as core enablers of digital transformation across our key themes: workplace productivity, financial services, and digital healthcare.
By focusing on tech-driven operational improvements, we support companies positioned for rapid growth and long-term competitive advantage in their industries.
-
We believe productive companies are those which are most poised for growth. Increased automation, analytics and monitoring can help unlock time of top decision makers to focus on new avenues of growth. We seek to partner with companies who are innovating across sales and marketing, back office, and operations.
-
The “Great Wealth Transfer” is among us. Cerulli Associates anticipates that $124T USD will transfer to younger generations through 2048. Investors inheriting this wealth will likely have different goals and expectations, thereby creating opportunity. New companies are emerging that leverage technology and tech-enabled solutions to enhance the efficiency, personalization, and accessibility of financial services. We seek to partner with companies who are innovating across wealth management, payments, and specialty banking
-
Favorable demographic trends, coupled with rapid technological advancements, supportive regulations and customer demand are powering the sustained growth and innovation in digital health. Disruptive trends, especially in AI, IoT, and regulatory innovation, are fundamentally reshaping digital health, driving a new era of value-based, data-integrated, and patient-centric care models. We seek to partner with companies who are innovating across diagnostics and imaging, care coordination, and care delivery.
