Mistral Venture Partners

About

We are a team of highly experienced and connected investors partnering with entrepreneurs who believe they can change the world.

Stage / Geography:
Mistral is a seed/early stage venture capital firm and typically the first
institutional investor in our companies. We have offices in Ottawa Canada and Palo Alto California. While our primary geographic focus is eastern Canada, we are open to opportunities throughout North America.

Model:
We leverage our global experience and presence while working closely with each of our companies to prepare them for later stage financing and growth. We use our combined network of venture investors, Executive Fellows, customers and advisors to accelerate growth and funding.

Sectors:
The Smart Enterprise: We believe that the promise of the Internet of 20 years ago is the reality of today. We look for investments that leverage the power of the Internet to make businesses smarter. These include companies leveraging Mobile, IoT, Cloud, Security and Networking innovation.

We do not invest in drug development, heavy infrastructure, or gaming technology.
