Extreme Venture Partners

Extreme Venture Partners (EVP) is one of Canada's most successful venture capital funds over the past decade. With its focus on mobile, EVP I (launched in 2007) achieved superior investment returns while helping to launch and help grow more than 20 companies which ultimately lead to over 1000 well paying technology jobs in Canada. Extreme Venture Partners has committed significant capital resources towards innovating on its own internal opportunities through its investment in Extreme Innovations. Operating as a technology accelerator, Extreme Innovations will create companies in partnership with talented entrepreneurs and tech experts and will validate business models before seeking additional partners. Now with its second fund, EVP is excited to continue upon its track record of discovering exceptional young companies on the verge of breakout. While continuing our focus on Mobile (particularly apps, payment, health and enterprise) we are excited to be expanding our sector interest to include Big Data (including open/social data, natural language processing, machine learning and analytics) and the Internet-of-Things (wearables, robotics, drones and connected devices).
