Their thesis, in full

Amplify Capital is a Toronto-based impact fund investing in early-stage startups in Canada and the US tackling structural challenges in climate, healthcare and education with scalable technologies. Cheques of $1M to $3M CAD at pre-seed, seed and Series A. Fund III, co-anchored by RBC and Fondaction with VCCI inclusive-growth backing, has been actively deploying since 2024 and is raising at a target substantially larger than Fund II, whose final close came in at $36M CAD. The team blends impact rigor with commercial discipline, suiting founders who want a partner that takes both financial returns and measurable impact seriously.
