About Intact Private Capital
Intact Private Capital is the venture capital and private equity arm of Intact Financial Corporation, Canada's largest provider of property and casualty insurance, headquartered in Toronto/Montreal. It provides long-term capital in dedicated partnership with generational founders, supporting companies from inception to IPO.
The firm operates across three strategies: an early-stage limited partner program backing emerging and established venture GPs, a direct venture capital arm (Intact Ventures) backing ambitious startups, and a strategic growth capital/private equity arm combining capital with deep commercial alignment alongside Intact's insurance operations.
Intact focuses on insurtech, fintech, mobility, data/AI, and vertical software, alongside middle-market business services, healthcare, and industrials for its private equity arm (targeting $10M–$50M EBITDA companies). Notable investments include Coterie Insurance, Acko, Gatik, Turo, Resilience, Shepherd, Deck, and Pine, managing roughly $400M across venture funds alone.
Its investment approach leverages Intact's status as a global insurer to offer portfolio companies both capital and commercial (re)insurance relationships, acting as a patient, long-term partner rather than a fast-exit-focused investor, with direct investments spanning Series A through growth-stage rounds plus buyouts and corporate carve-outs on the PE side.
