We are tech investors with a passion for health care
At Pender Ventures, we invest in B2B software and health tech startups at the inflection point between commercialization and scale. We focus on Canadian companies but can invest across North America. We are actively investing out of our second fund, so whether you’re a founder, investor, service provider or ecosystem champion, we’d love to connect.
We thrive on doing the work
As hands on investors, we provide broad support for company building, from recruiting and business development to fundraising and product strategy. We are also engaged board members. Our growing platform includes support for people and culture, ESG integration and exit planning.
Dedicated, experienced, diverse
Our team has decades of experience building startups, investing in entrepreneurs and shaping tech ecosystems. Our diversity helps us engage across communities while reducing blind spots.
A platform for scaling
Pender Ventures is backed by PenderFund Capital Management, a diverse group of analysts, security selectors and independent thinkers who operate strategies across public equities, fixed income and liquid alternatives. Pender Ventures’ integration within PenderFund enhances the breadth and quality of our network, our ability to understand the markets in which we invest, and our capacity to support our companies as they scale.
