Misfits Fund

Misfit Ventures operates as an investment fund, investing pre-seed and seed capital into emerging startups. The firm backs ventures led by underrepresented founders, including LGBTQ+, women, BIPOC, Indigenous, immigrant, and disabled entrepreneurs. Their strategy focuses on impact-driven companies, funding those often bypassed by traditional capital.

Mandy Potter and Doug Lui co-founded Misfit Ventures as Managing Partners. Their insight recognized that diverse leadership, from LGBTQ+ founders, consistently achieves superior performance. This understanding propelled them to establish a fund dedicated to championing innovation by investing in diverse entrepreneurial talent and perspectives.

The fund supports diverse founders building impact-focused enterprises. Misfit Ventures aims to democratize capital access, believing true innovation flourishes through empowered, varied voices. Investing in Canadian, US, and global impact-driven ventures, the firm cultivates a portfolio for financial success and societal contributions.
