Back Forty

Back Forty is the first investment firm created to invest exclusively in the consumer retail sector in Canada. While consumer retail is the third-largest sector of the Canadian economy and home to a disproportionate number of iconic brands, it remains dramatically underfunded and overlooked. Canada has the talent, the ideas, and the market. What it needs is committed capital and operator-grade investment partners who are singularly focused on building for the long-term in Canada. Enter Back Forty. We partner with distinctive leaders obsessed with world-class products and customer experiences – underpinned by best-in-class unit economics. We don’t just invest – we accelerate. Our model drives faster, more profitable scaling through hands-on, collaborative partnerships with a relentless focus on executional excellence. Focused on control transactions. Open to minority investments in special situations.
