Next Equities

About The Fund

Next Equities is an Edmonton-based private equity firm that positions itself as a partner in profit, with a keen focus on growth and venture capital. They specialize in building companies into multi-million dollar success stories, aiming to partner with companies that have the potential to revolutionize stagnant industries. Their team banks on a proven track record of elevating businesses to new heights and seeks to leverage this experience with companies on the cusp of significant breakthroughs. Next Equities believes in backing companies that aim to be 'disruptive meteors', shaking up traditional markets and practices. Their investment strategy prioritizes scalability and competitive advantage, looking for significant organic growth or growth through rollups. Their Growth division targets companies with valuations between $500K to $5M and seeks majority positions, whereas their Venture division invests in Seed and Series A rounds without a specific target size. The company firmly supports existing and dedicated management teams that have a strong vision for the future. While they are open to opportunities for disruption in various industries, their experience spans from industrials and real estate to facial analysis and childcare. They differ from other investment firms by not having a mandated holding period, choosing instead to exit investments when it seems most strategic. When considering growth capital investments, they prefer companies with positive cash flows that still have significant growth potential. In contrast, their Venture division is willing to invest in post-revenue companies that may not yet be cash-flow positive but have a clear path to achieving it. Next Equities is committed to symbiotic partnerships where they can realize the potential of their investees and drive substantial value creation.
