Their thesis, in full
Winnipeg-based Fund I of $15M targeting pre-seed and seed, with two-thirds focused on Manitoba. Trillick aims for a portfolio of 15 to 20 companies, and had secured close to $5M with 3 investments as of April 2025. Disclosed investments now include Parallel, 3Common, ConstructionClock, Taiv, SimpleHedge and Hyper. Led by Iain Crozier, the fund is a founding member of the Canadian Startup Capital Association (CSCA) and engaged in the Canadian emerging-managers ecosystem. The team backs Manitoban founders who need a regional first cheque institutional partner with strong syndication ties to national funds for follow-on rounds.

Follow-on
