Roadmap Capital is a private equity firm specializing in deep tech investments and wealth portfolio management. Founded in 2013 and based in Toronto, Canada, the firm focuses on supporting high-growth potential companies in industries such as healthcare, biotech, information technology, and industrial sectors. With an investment model centered around single purpose vehicles (SPVs), they connect high net worth investors and successful entrepreneurs with opportunities to co-invest in technology startups. Roadmap Capital's investment approach is defined by strict criteria: they seek companies led by strong teams and leaders, operating in markets with significant size, developing disruptive technologies that are at least 10 times better than existing commercial technologies, have sustainable competitive advantages with high barriers to entry, and are at a mid to late-stage VC investment horizon. They prioritize investing in companies with a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL), specifically those at levels 6 to 9, indicating that the company has a developed prototype ready for large-scale manufacturing. The firm's focus encompasses Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies involved in data transmission, reception, storage, and manipulation, as well as those in Sensors and Actuators and Medical Devices. Besides ICT, Roadmap Capital also invests in opportunities such as world leaders in 5G MMWAVE, Next Generation Firewalls, Automotive ADAS systems, and solutions for cancer surgery. This hands-on investment strategy includes participation from Roadmap principals who often join the board of directors of portfolio companies, ensuring total alignment with their investors. They implement a zero-and-twenty fee structure where no fees are collected until successful exits, aligning with their belief that they are not successful unless their investors are. Their investment range is up to $3,130,000, reflecting their commitment to substantial and strategic capital allocation.
