what we do
building a startup is hard. doing it in a new country? 10x harder.
new market, new rules, new culture. you’re not just figuring out product-market fit, you’re figuring out how to get a phone plan.
that’s why we built CI Ventures - for founders like you.
we cut through the noise to give you what matters: how to set up fast and legally, how to talk to Canadian customers so they care, how to avoid chasing the wrong things, how to get investors to take you seriously.
no fluff. no startup theatre. just real support from people who have been in the trenches.
who we work with
this isn’t for tourists. we’re not here for people chasing half-baked ideas.
we work with founders who are all-in on their startup and building a real future in Canada.
we back people who show up and do the work, take feedback and act on it, and treat this like a once-in-a-lifetime shot - because it is.
if you’ve got real commitment, drive, and humility to learn - we’re here for you.
our results
proof beats promises.
over 200 startups supported. over $50M capital raised. founders from more than 45 countries. businesses launched from coast to coast to coast.
these aren’t vanity metrics. they’re receipts from founders who bet on themselves - and got after it with our support.
you bring the fire. we’ll bring the fuel.
