We Invest

We view our investments as partnerships. As a minority equity investor, the teams that we back and the relationships we build with them are fundamental to our collective success.

When we invest, we take a long-term view and treat the relationship seriously from day one. We are diligent and methodical, but strive to be pragmatic and collaborative to keep companies focused on their operations.

We Help Canadians

To realize their full potential, companies need more than capital.

When CBGF invests, we bring our team’s experience in business operations, strategy, investing, and corporate finance, and we impart our network of business professionals and service providers that can help entrepreneurs overcome critical knowledge and talent gaps that will likely arise as their businesses expand.

We help by supporting our partners and letting them do what they do best – run their business.
