Their thesis, in full
International technology investment manager founded by Canadians, investing in exceptional founders through three vehicles (Early Growth at Series A and B, North American Seed at pre-seed and seed, Digital Asset for crypto networks and blockchain-enabled companies). Presence in nine markets (Montreal, Toronto, New York, London, Paris, Guernsey, Berlin, Milan, Abu Dhabi) opens genuine cross-border corridor access. Initial cheques from about $0.7M CAD at seed up to $20M CAD at Series A and B, across B2B tech, SaaS, fintech, healthcare, physical AI and vertical AI. A platform built for founders thinking globally beyond Canada from day one, with strong follow-on capacity and an active operator network across multiple ecosystems.
What they bring past the cheque

Questions they usually ask
Have an answer ready for each one before the first call.
- Which of the three funds (Early Growth, North American Seed, Digital Asset) is the right fit for our stage?
- How does White Star activate its offices across North America, Europe and the Middle East to support a Canadian founder expanding abroad?
- What is the typical follow-on reserve and pro-rata behaviour from Series A through Series C?
Follow-on
White Star reserves about half of Fund IV for follow-on investments, so it can keep backing companies from Series A through Series B and beyond. Its North American Seed Fund also holds follow-on capital to support breakout companies through Series A.
