Mistral Venture Partners Office Hours

​Join us at House 831 on October 29th for a round of office hours with the team at Mistral Venture Partners. Ryan Watkins is setting up on the floor for 1:1 sessions with founders. Bring the deck, the messy metrics, the question you've been sitting on, or just come find out what a pre-seed fund actually looks for before you start raising.

​Mistral is a pre-seed and seed fund focused on enterprise AI, investing across Canada and the US with offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, and California. Their work is built around helping founders get to product-market fit and telling the difference between real progress and vanity metrics. Portfolio companies include Cohere, Blue J, TensorWave, and Calgary's own Symend.

​Ryan is an Investor at Mistral Venture Partners, based here in Calgary. Before venture he was a repeat founder and growth operator: co-founder and CEO of Rally.Fan, a VC-backed creator economy company, and VP of Growth at Class8, an AI freight marketplace that has raised $40M CAD. Earlier he was Head of Growth at Lending Loop, Canada's first regulated peer-to-peer lending marketplace, which funded over $60M in loans to small businesses during his tenure, and he helped scale TouchBistro and Roadmunk before their acquisitions.

​Sessions are 20 minutes and booked in advance. Limited spots. Approval required. Time slots will be sent out beforehand.
