Your Growth Engineering Partner for scale-ups in Canada.
We work selectively with Canadian software and SaaS founders pursuing transatlantic or cross-border expansion - typically as co-investors bringing the 6X Factors as one programme.
The Canada ecosystem, as we see it
Canadian technology ecosystem context: high-quality founders, strong domestic Series A market, but a structural gap at the scaling stage where capacity from our global teams adds margin and speed. We are an open conversation in those situations.

Frequently asked questions
- Does TGC Capital Partners work with scale-ups in Canada?
- Yes. TGC works directly with scale-up founders in Canada. We bring the 6X Factors into the company as one programme: sales and marketing capacity, engineering capacity from our global teams, governance and back office, and leaders from Gateway Group on the board. We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor.
- How does TGC invest in Canada companies?
- We invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor, at an agreed valuation, routinely up to 30% of the optimised funding need over the 18-month plan. The plan is recast month by month in the workshop, with the programme inside it. We invest as a minority partner without control.
- Does TGC have a local presence in Canada?
- Canada is covered by TGC partners with direct operating experience in the local ecosystem. Gateway Group has offices in 15 countries across Europe, North America, Africa and India, and our global teams work with founders in each market.
- How is TGC different from a VC or PE fund in Canada?
- TGC Capital is not a VC, a PE fund or a venture studio. We do not only provide capital, and we do not create companies. We work with existing founders and put our teams inside their company, under one agreement, and we invest only when execution leverage is clear. Read more on the /focus and /platform pages.
- Which sectors does TGC focus on in Canada?
- Software and SaaS, vertical software products and tech-enabled services. We do not invest in hardware, deep tech or capital-intensive sectors outside software.
