ThreeD Capital, established in 1987 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is a publicly-traded venture capital firm that specializes in early-stage investments. They target a diverse range of sectors including resources, artificial intelligence, blockchain, scientific cannabidiol, augmented reality, gaming, smart grid infrastructure, cybersecurity, and junior resources with an emphasis on precious metals. ThreeD Capital prides itself on discovering and investing in disruptive technology companies and highly prospective junior resource opportunities. Their approach is likened to an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for ground-floor investments, aiming to provide investors with significant exposure to small-cap stocks in their nascent stages and industries poised for disruption. Under the leadership of Sheldon Inwentash, a recognized figure in financing junior resource firms, ThreeD Capital has historically participated in the early financing rounds of companies, seeking to secure a low entry point and a favorable risk/reward scenario. Their merchant banking model is both fluid and agile, often acting as the primary financier for cutting-edge technologies and providing their portfolio companies with strategic advice, as well as access to an influential network. This involvement aids in attracting capital, key personnel, and partnerships, increasing chances of success. Their industry-agnostic investment strategy allows them to select companies with visionary prospects capable of addressing the challenges of a rapidly evolving technological landscape, such as those in blockchain, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, biotechnology, and junior resources. ThreeD Capital attaches great importance to exponential organizations that can scale at a rate proportional to technological progress, driving home the belief that businesses harnessing such innovation will outperform competitors who don't. The firm's hands-on investment philosophy and strong history of success provide it with early access to best-of-breed companies, aligning with their mission to unlock value for investors by seizing ground-floor opportunities in the high-growth potential, disruptive technology, and resource sectors.
