Innovation without limits
Treefrog VC offers more than capital—we provide a growth platform. Through our integrated model, we deliver strategic support across critical business functions, reducing the time from product development to market traction.
By leveraging the extensive resources and international network of Treefrog Accelerator, we enable companies to expand rapidly and build enduring value beyond the limitations of traditional venture capital.
What we invest in
Treefrog VC backs early-stage to Series A companies that have built a product and proven early traction—but need the right support to scale effectively. We focus on businesses with high growth potential that can benefit from hands-on operational, marketing, and development expertise, not just capital.
Our investment thesis is centred on accelerating market readiness and helping companies shorten the time between product and meaningful revenue. We invest in:
Product-Market Fit
We partner with companies that have validated demand and are poised to scale their offering. Our role is to refine positioning, sharpen go-to-market strategies, and unlock deeper market alignment.
Scaling Assistance
Growth often stalls due to gaps in execution. We embed our team’s capabilities to optimize sales funnels, marketing infrastructure, product development, and talent strategies—driving the systems that fuel scale.
Growth Focused
We look for founders with ambition and a clear vision for expansion—across markets, geographies, or verticals. With our global network, Treefrog Accelerator platform, and venture-growth mindset, we help companies expand faster and smarter.
We are especially drawn to technology-driven businesses with international aspirations and untapped potential—startups that need more than funding to become category leaders.
Industries
We focus on scalable tech, particularly AI, but are open to any technology with software or hardware components.
We invest in scalable tech across sectors, with a strong interest in companies that blend software or hardware with real-world impact. While we’re excited by the potential of AI, we back any technology with the fundamentals to scale and the vision to lead. From SaaS to IoT to frontier innovation—what matters most is market potential and execution.
Geography
Global reach with a particular strength in international market entry, leveraging our SUV designation.
We invest globally, with particular strength in supporting international companies entering the North American market. As a designated Start-up Visa (SUV) partner, we provide founders with a unique path to scale in Canada through tailored support, local expertise, and cross-border resources.
While we work with companies from around the world, we place added value on those with a connection to York Region—whether through their founders, operations, or growth strategy.
