With its focus on mobile, EVP I (launched in 2007) achieved superior investment returns while helping to launch and help grow more than 20 companies which ultimately lead to over 1000 well paying technology jobs in Canada. Innovate Build Invest Extreme Venture Partners has committed significant capital resources towards innovating on its own internal opportunities through its investment in Extreme Innovations. Operating as a technology accelerator, Extreme Innovations will create companies in partnership with talented entrepreneurs and tech experts and will validate business models before seeking additional partners.

EVP were our first investors and supported our vision as we built the company through the twists and turns. EVP introduced us to the lead investors for our second round and helped us close the deal on favourable terms. At those times when we needed the help most, they were there for us. Grant Ritchie, Co-founder, Locationary We love working with Extreme Venture Partners and we view them as a partner rather than an investor. They really understand the entrepreneurs mindset and are willing to really work to make a company successful. On top of that, they have a strong ethical back-bone that drives decision making and support for the entrepreneur. Kathy Leake, CEO Founder, LocalResponse We involved EVP right from the beginning of our business. They joke about not knowing the business as much as making an investment in the quality of the management. And in our case we did end up with an early pivot in the business strategy for which EVP has been supportive every step of the way. I would recommend any new startup to work with like minded pros who are entrepreneur-friendly and do not micro manage unless called upon. Chris Sukornyk, CEO Founder, Chango Extreme was always a great partner, and stuck with us though the thick and thin. Was there when we wanted their help, and would stay out of the way when we they werent wanted. They were partners from the very early start at Kontagent and one of the earliest to believe in us when few others did! Albert Lai, CEO Co-Founder, Big Viking Games Having invested in the space for over four decades I have been very pleased by not only the returns from EVP but also its thoughtful positioning in the spacethe partners have done a admirable job selecting those companies that embody the new trends in the technology field.
