Investment Thesis

LOI Venture is a seed-stage venture fund focused on backing early-stage founders under 30, with particular emphasis on those who have participated in the League of Innovators (LOI) program. The fund was co-founded by Ryan Holmes (Hootsuite founder) and Manny Padda to accelerate youth entrepreneurship in Canada by providing capital to pre-seed and seed-stage startups. Their approach is rooted in reducing barriers to entry for young entrepreneurs and scaling access to mentorship and funding.
