About MAVAN Capital Partners

Mavan Capital Partners is a venture capital firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia. The firm's mission is to democratize access to private technology investments, connecting Canadian investors to high-growth companies that are typically inaccessible due to high entry barriers. The firm manages the MAVAN Tech Opportunity Fund, which supports the growth of British Columbian technology companies while offering eligible BC investors a 30% provincial tax credit; it also runs "A Mavan's Reach," a mental health advocacy initiative for at-risk youth. Its sector focus spans AI, SaaS, fintech, healthcare, biotech, consumer, edtech, climate, energy, and logistics, investing across pre-seed, seed, Series A, Series B, growth equity, and pre-IPO stages, primarily in North America with a concentration in British Columbia. The firm has made over 20 investments, including Introhive, Minga, Levr.ai, Trellis, Vinn, Pela, and Yield Exchange, alongside three exits to date, including Klonetics. Mavan's investment criteria favor strong management teams and defensible, disruptive technology; its founder-first approach pairs capital with strategic guidance and access to its global investor network.
