Profile

Golden Ventures is a leading seed-stage venture capital fund, based in Toronto and investing across North America.

We’re here to support founders who are building the future. It is our job to take big risks on the world’s most talented, driven and resilient founding teams who want to change the world.

We believe technology is not an industry. It transcends conventional categories and touches every facet of life, improving the world as we know it. People will find new ways to make things simpler, faster, cheaper, and smarter.

It is for this reason that we invest across sectors, trusting a founder’s ability to teach us what is on the horizon and deliberately leverage our mentorship and diverse network to their advantage.

It is also why we focus exclusively on our superpower, the seed stage. While companies at seed stage might seem messy and imperfect to most, that’s our comfort zone. It’s where we can help you identify what matters — setting milestones and the necessary focus that will help you achieve product-market fit.

Golden Ventures can be reached through its website golden.ventures, its LinkedIn page and its X account. Its general enquiries address is [email protected]. Cold-mailing a general inbox rarely reaches a partner, so Private Equity List also lists the investment-team contacts for Golden Ventures — names, roles, verified work emails and LinkedIn profiles — available on a Pro plan from $129/month (see pricing). Contacts are sourced from the firm's website and LinkedIn and re-verified on a rolling cycle. Spot a stale contact, or none at all? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
Yes. Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query Golden Ventures directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
Private Equity List re-verifies investor profiles on a rolling cycle, pulling from the firm's own website and LinkedIn rather than a one-off import. This profile was last updated on 16 August, 2026. Something out of date here? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
