Their thesis, in full
Georgian invests in market-leading B2B SaaS companies with strong management teams at the growth stage, typically those generating at least US$500K in monthly recurring revenue. The firm specializes in applied AI for SaaS, deploying $20M to $100M per cheque, with Fund VI at US$892M and a complementary Alignment II vehicle. The core value proposition is the Georgian operating platform (R&D Impact Team), which delivers AI, growth and talent playbooks directly embedded with portfolio companies. Built for Series B+ founders who want a Canadian institutional partner capable of leading ambitious growth rounds without forcing them to navigate New York funds.
