Their thesis, in full

Halifax-based fund investing in Canadian tech-enabled companies from Seed to Series A that have a woman in a C-level role with meaningful equity, across health, energy and infrastructure, and the future of work. Sandpiper closed Fund I at over $20M and now invests from Fund II, backed by a $4M commitment from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The team combines a mandate-driven thesis with sector breadth and an Atlantic anchor that opens doors to regional ecosystem support.

What they bring past the cheque

  • Atlantic Canada anchor
  • Women in the C-suite with meaningful equity
  • Future of work focus
  • Newfoundland LP support
  • Underrepresented capital access

Questions they usually ask

Have an answer ready for each one before the first call.

  1. What was your hardest fundraising rejection so far, and what did you learn from it?
  2. How does your Atlantic Canada presence shape talent, customer access or strategic LP relationships?
  3. What does your path to a Series A syndicate look like outside of Toronto and Vancouver?

Follow-on

Sandpiper reserves capital for follow-on rounds and actively syndicates Series A with Atlantic LP partners (Build Ventures, NBIF, Innovacorp) and pan-Canadian funds. Quarterly KPI updates and a clear bridge to Series A milestones are expected.
