Maverix?
Appreciate that - super boomer shop from the quick view.
They’re being sued by a Partner right now and have yet to make a deal (my my understanding). They have some great talent on board, but I wouldn’t say they’re top.
John Ruffolo is Canadian GOAT VC
Absolutely, just making the point that they are still new. His new firm =\= OMERS Ventures
He's really that good eh?
Lot of overlap as the ones I know don't exclusively do growth / late stage venture.
These are the ones do some variation of each - Round 13, Maverix, Kensington, Vertu, Georgian. BDC does as well and I assume the pensions have their own.
Maverix is John Ruffolo's shop. Man might look like a boomer but hit quite a few home runs building out OMERS Ventures.
Top ones for this would be your iNovia, Georgian, Portage, and OMERS. OTPP is building out a group for this, but they’ve been mostly fund investments.
