Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Ripple Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in AI/ML, Enterprise SaaS, Vertical SaaS, and Developer Tools, especially across Canada, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Focus statement

They focus on very large problems in legacy industries with manual workflows, large amounts of offline data, and archaic technology stacks not yet ready for AI. With offices in Toronto and Vancouver, they primarily lead or co-lead rounds across Canada, partnering with trusted US co-investors.
