Velocity Fund
A pre-seed fund spun out of the University of Waterloo to invest in world-changing companies at the earliest stage. Velocity Fund is the next step in Velocity’s evolution and the fund that we wanted to exist when we were founders. We invest at early stage in ambitious founders across software, deep tech and health tech. We offer nimble cheques, no nonsense advice, connection to Canada’s most successful incubator and a world-class network of alumni founders.
