We are excited to share that Inovia is working with Northleaf Capital Partners to launch Discovery by Inovia x Northleaf, a platform designed to accelerate the next generation of Canadian venture firms and founders.
This announcement reflects a natural evolution of a long-standing relationship. Since 2016, Inovia and Northleaf have co-invested across 13 primary, direct, and secondary transactions totaling approximately C$177 million, reflecting a shared focus on investing in Canadian tech that underpins the launch of Discovery.
The partnership combines 40 years of venture experience built on Inovia’s direct investing and early-stage venture expertise with Northleaf’s disciplined approach to fund investing. With more than 350 professionals across both organizations, the platform will support high-conviction pre-seed and seed opportunities, primarily in Canada, through capital, firm-building guidance, portfolio construction expertise, and access to a global network of founders, operators, and co-investors.
Inovia has always believed that backing exceptional founders and emerging managers is key to building enduring venture ecosystems. Partnering with Northleaf allows us to extend the reach and impact of our Discovery program alongside a like-minded partner.
We look forward to sharing further updates on Discovery by Inovia x Northleaf, and we are grateful for your continued partnership and trust.
