Our Model
Building with Simple Ventures is different because of our:
Proven Launch Process
We identify, validate, and launch new business concepts continuously. By the time we hire a CEO for a new company, we've:
- seen strong signals of Canadian product-market fit and
- committed a $1M CAD investment
Our process eliminates guesswork, accelerates timelines, and ensures CEOs are set up for success from day one.
Compelling Path to Exit
We focus on companies with a clear path to profitability and an achievable target of $50M+ enterprise value within 5 years. Our capital-efficient approach minimizes dilution, allowing CEOs to retain meaningful ownership. We prioritize sustainable growth and thoughtful execution to ensure every company has a strong foundation for long-term success, while also delivering tangible results in a short timeframe.
Derisked CEO-First Approach
We equip you with a validated idea, operational support, and access to unique venture-specific advantages. From functional specialist advisors to pre-built connections with potential acquirers, we thoughtfully stack the odds to ensure that CEOs have every possible advantage to thrive.
Focus on Canada's Potential
The world underestimates Canada. From perceived regulatory hurdles to market fragmentation, the excuses are endless. But we see a Top 10 global economy with universal consumer and business needs, and an incredible opportunity to localize proven global concepts. We find and build what works, putting Canada first.
