Their thesis, in full
Edmonton-based seed fund focused on Western Canada, primarily in B2B SaaS. Sprout also invests in AI, generative AI, proptech and healthtech. Fund II had a first close at $10M in 2022, totaling approximately $14M. The team is an active investor with a clear thesis on Prairie and BC founders, providing the regional first cheque institutional capital that is hardest to access west of Toronto. Sprout pairs fast decisions with hands-on operational support through Series A.
