Graphite Ventures backs early-stage capital-efficient enterprise software and hardware companies. If you are a B2B founder looking for a high-conviction lead investor for your pre-seed or seed round, we want to hear from you.
What We Look For
Before you submit your deck, ensure your venture aligns with our core investment architecture:
It’s worthwhile to connect if you’re:
- B2B/Enterprise Focus: We invest exclusively in Canadian companies creating hardware and software tech solutions in a broad range of industries, including frontier tech.
- Early Stage Execution: Our sweet spot is Pre-Seed and Seed. We look for teams that have achieved initial product validation, customer traction, or an unfair technical advantage.
- Capital Efficiency: In today’s macroeconomic landscape, we back founders who know how to optimize their capital runway and prioritize sustainable, repeatable growth metrics over hyper-inflationary burn profiles.
- Scale Canadian: We back exceptional teams possessing the distinct structural ambition to build, retain, and scale world-class technology from Canada into global markets.
