Sunview Capital supports the immigrant dream by investing startups & small businesses.

Our mission at Sunview Capital is to help Canadians take the leap into entrepreneurship by offering equity-based funding on founder-friendly terms.

Canada is 30% less productive than the U.S. and the gap is widening [1] . We need innovation and growth in value-add industries to compete on the global market. Like our American neighbors, immigration is a key driver of the economy, with immigrants account for 32% of all business owners with paid staff [2] . Unfortunately, Canadian VCs are notoriously risk averse [3] , leading many founders and business owners to head south. We aim to change that by offering support, mentorship, and capital to entrepenurial Canadians.

In 2022 and 2023, Canada welcomed over 400k new immigrants per year (total population 39 million). Many of them are very talented but are currently stuck working low skilled jobs. With the rising cost of living and skyrocketing rents & real estate, saving is an uphill battle where the path to entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly difficult. We aim to change that by offering equity-based funding on founder-friendly terms.

Approach

We write $10k-100k first-money checks with founder-friendly turnaround and minimal bureaucracy.
