Invest in R&D & New Markets
Invest in R&D and expand into new channels and geographies to drive durable growth.
Investment Thesis
Canada is entering what observers call “the decade of repreneuriat.” Over the next 5–10 years, more than 800,000 SMEs nationwide — including ~50,000 in Quebec — will transition ownership as baby-boomer founders retire. This wave represents >$2 trillion in business assets and impacts millions of Canadian jobs.
Yet most of these businesses face two simultaneous challenges:
Lack of succession planning
Fewer than 10% have a formal plan for business transfer or succession.
Under-investment in modernization
Many owners nearing retirement defer critical investments in technology, automation, and sustainability.
This dual gap creates an opportunity for a new class of hands-on operators and investors. Our fund is designed to step into this gap — preserving legacy while building resilience — by acquiring stable Quebec SMEs in manufacturing and distribution, investing in AI, digital tools, and CapEx upgrades, and positioning them to thrive in an era of reshoring and global supply chain volatility.
