What is Ripple Ventures?

Ripple Ventures is a venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments, primarily in technology-driven companies across North America. The firm functions with a clear focus on supporting visionary founders who aim to transform legacy industries through innovative software solutions.

Based in Toronto, Canada, Ripple Ventures operates on the core principle of offering real operational support to its portfolio companies, extending far beyond financial capital. They position themselves as a partner in the truest sense, integrating into the teams they invest in to offer assistance with customer acquisition, team building, and securing additional funding.

Ripple Ventures targets companies with a burgeoning market presence, particularly those with a minimum of $300,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR).

The firm predominantly invests in enterprise software, enterprise blockchain, and healthcare technology sectors. They lead the majority of the investment deals they engage in, with a minimum and maximum investment range between $500,000 to $2,000,000, focusing on Seed to Series A stages. The Ripple Ventures team leverages their extensive experience and resources to accelerate the growth of companies in their portfolio, striving to create clear pathways to success.

With hands-on capital provision, founder-friendly investment dynamics, and a robust network of larger investor connections, they fill a significant market gap and help setup their companies for successful scaling. Ripple Ventures boasts a top decile performing fund from the 2018 vintage and has over $25M in assets under management across three fund structures, maintaining active involvement in over 40 portfolio companies. Their dedication to transparency, operating savvy, and independent thought establishes them as more than investors; they are allies, advocates, and integral parts of the businesses they back.

We are a venture fund dedicated to supporting business-to-business software-as-a-service innovators.

What we look for: We invest in B2B SaaS startups.

How we help: We know what it takes to get from idea to venture-backed and eventually to a successful exit. It’s a long, hard journey that few investors can empathize with. After witnessing the lack of support other capital providers were failing to offer entrepreneurs as operators ourselves, we made it our mission to fill this gap in the market for the next gen
