AIP Private Capital is a Toronto-based venture capital firm with a global outreach, boasting additional offices in Moscow, Seoul, and Dubai. The fund specializes in private equity, venture debt, and special situations financing, targeting sectors such as financial services, technology, energy, cleantech, material science, and healthcare and wellness. With a commitment to fostering the growth of emerging companies, AIP Private Capital invests in businesses that exhibit unique assets, a strong business model, and an experienced management team capable of driving expansion towards profitability.

The firm prides itself on contributing not just capital, but also providing technical expertise and leadership, including board and managerial support.

As a member of both the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (CVCA) and the Turnaround Management Association (TMA), and a nominee for the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, AIP has established its expertise in the turnaround and expansion stages of company growth.

The firm’s investment strategy involves building a diversified portfolio across target industries, seizing direct investment opportunities primarily within North America, without imposing the dilution of an equity stake or the delays often associated with traditional financial institutions.

This comprehensive approach to investment has enabled AIP Private Capital to support the scale-up of numerous portfolio companies, positioning it as a strategic partner for emerging growth companies in their respective industries.
