We back Canadian companies building the technologies that matter, and we help them scale.
Things That Make Us Different
Permanent Capital.
No Fund Cycle.
Our capital is permanent. We invest from our own balance sheet — capital built over the Pfaff family's sixty years in Canadian business and the 2021 sale of Pfaff Automotive. There is no outside fund, no LP base to report to, and no fixed horizon that forces a sale in five years.
When we back a company, the only question that matters is whether it is getting stronger — not when we exit. For a founder who wants a long-term partner rather than a financial clock on the wall, that structure is the whole point.
We Help You Scale — Not Just Fund You.
Capital is the start of the relationship, not the substance of it. We take a board seat or observer rights in most investments and we are genuinely useful between meetings: working through the decisions that come with growth, opening specific doors — to customers, acquirers, co-investors, and government. Our team has executive level perspective to structure and discipline as a company gets more complex.The Team at PT has extensive experience in Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain and Finance to help you scale
Track Record
The background behind the investment thesis — things the team built and did before investing full-time. They are the reason the perspective is specific rather than theoretical.
The Moment in Canada
A private-capital gap in the middle market creates a critical opportunity for founder-led, technology-driven companies with real revenue and competitive position.
Venture Capital
Concentrates in a handful of software categories. Abundant but narrowly focused on specific tech verticals.
The Gap
Founder-led, technology-driven and advanced companies with real revenue and a real competitive position.
$250K - $5M capital neededPrivate Equity
Concentrates in large leveraged buyouts. Deep capital but structured for larger transactions.
The Succession Dynamic
More than three quarters of Canadian small-business owners plan to exit within ten years. Yet fewer than one in ten have a formal succession plan.
Many built companies genuinely worth backing—but lack access to the patient capital and operating expertise needed to scale or transition ownership.
We Are Investing Into That Gap

Capital
Patient, flexible funding sized for the middle market—$250,000 to $5 million range—to fuel growth and transitions.
Operating Depth

Partner With Us
For Founders
If you are building a technology-driven company — in one of our verticals or adjacent to them — and you are at the point of thinking about capital, a long-term partner, or what comes next, we want to talk.
We respond to every inquiry within 48 hours. The first conversation is direct and practical; we are not going to put you through a long evaluation before deciding whether to engage.
What we are not is a fund running a structured process with analyst presentations and committee approvals. We are a small group of people who have built and run businesses, and who can help you scale.
For Co-Investors
We co-invest alongside family offices, principals, and patient-capital partners who share a long-term view of Canadian technology and industry.
There is no formal LP structure — these are direct, deal-by-deal relationships. If you are evaluating a founder-led Canadian company and want a partner who brings operating depth alongside capital, we are open to that conversation.
We can bring deal flow from the companies we are actively looking at.
