Badhouse Ventures

Pre-seed VC offering hands-on support for software startups (i.e, SaaS/AI/web3) with at least a beta-version product solving a real problem. We invest in Canadian companies, with a Western Canada focus. We’re impact-driven, but not an impact fund; we’re diversity-aware, but not a fund for diversity; preferring measurement over quotas. Our guiding philosophy is to go beyond simply writing first cheques, to really dig in, helping very early-stage ventures figure things out strategically as they work towards product-market fit. Pre-investment startup founders are welcome to apply to be considered for investment+support or participate in one of our upcoming virtual pitch events; see badhouse.ca/pitch
