Marigold Capital

What is Marigold Capital?

Marigold Capital is a venture capital firm that is notably focused on advocating for gender and social equity through impactful investments. They position themselves as a champion for underrepresented entrepreneurs, mainly investing in Canadian and US founders with technology-enabled products and services that create value for women, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (BIPOC), and other underserved groups. Marigold Capital's investment thesis revolves around identifying and funding businesses that operate within sectors such as mental health, femtech, edtech, fintech, and supply chain resilience/transparency, targeting both B2B and B2C markets.

The firm recognizes a market opportunity that is large, untapped, and often ignored by mainstream venture capitalists. With more than two decades of collective experience in early-stage impact investing and having managed over $105 million in assets, their team of experts has a robust track record in developing fund products, building ventures, managing boards, teams, and impact investors.

Marigold Capital adheres to a philosophy that emphasizes the disproportionate lack of venture funding for women and BIPOC-led technology companies and aims to address the societal challenges of growing inequality and systemic racism, especially in light of the impacts of COVID-19.

They offer a platform for visionary and disruptive investors to connect with the best women and BIPOC-led technology firms that are actively addressing the world's most pressing social challenges.

Marigold Capital's investment range lies between $50,000 and $200,000, targeting companies with a minimum of $15,000 monthly recurring revenue (MRR). Their goal is to contribute to changing the status quo by providing meaningful capital infusion into ventures that are poised to make significant societal contributions.
