Deep Tech Venture Capital Fund
Investing in Canadian deep tech. Helping companies change the
world, one investment at a time. By engineers for engineers.
Canadian deep tech is underinvested.
Despite being one of the most educated nations in the world, Canada is failing to protect and invest in our deep tech innovations.
Lack of education in deep tech
The RiSC Capital team has 35+ years of combined experience operating and investing, best IRRs when backing seed/deep tech.
No technical risk takers
At RiSC, we welcome technical risk because we understand it. We know how to identify great opportunities that scare others off.
Engineers funding other engineers
As engineers, we are dedicated to finding and digging deep into creative, game-changing tech and investing in what it can become and do for Canada’s future. We are developing the next generation of leaders by bringing deep management experience and support to every company we invest in.
