Early-stage founders face a well-known paradox. They need capital to get revenue but can’t get capital until they have meaningful revenue. Metiquity fills this critical funding gap.
Purpose
As the only experienced investment fund solely focused on leading pre-seed rounds in Alberta's pre and early-revenue startups and companies, our purpose is clear: we are THE professionally managed early-stage fund for promising digital transformation companies and founders, providing both capital and strategic guidance to build a stronger innovation ecosystem in Western Canada.
For our pioneering Limited Partner investors, this means unlocking access to an important venture asset class that can generate substantial returns.
Early-Stage
High-Conviction
We follow a meticulous due diligence and investment process to make objective decisions. We act as a lead investor in a smaller number of companies we strongly believe in and can add value to.
Active Investing
We form a true partnership with each of our portfolio companies to provide not just capital, but the strategic guidance and support early-stage companies need to help manage risk and accelerate growth.
Alberta's Tech Momentum
In Alberta's rapidly expanding tech landscape, venture capital investment reached $707 million across nearly 90 deals in 2023 (CVCA). With Calgary ranking as Canada's 4th highest tech market (Startup Genome, 2024) and Edmonton's venture capital investment tripling to $188 million, our region is primed for innovation. Venture capital investment has increased by 26% since 2021, as reported by Alberta Enterprise Corporation's 2023 Technology Deal Flow Study. But our most early stage and promising companies still need investment capital and most Venture Capital firms are not looking at that early stage opportunity.
Bridging the Critical Gap
In a world where $500,000 is the new $5M, Metiquity stands as the only experienced investment fund exclusively focused on leading pre-seed rounds in Alberta's emerging tech companies. We identify and support promising founders at their most critical stage - before traditional venture capital becomes accessible.
