About Ripple Ventures
Ripple Ventures is the go-to partner for founders building transformative software that modernizes legacy industries and workflows. As one of the earliest and most impactful investors, we focus on leading rounds in top pre-seed startups in Canada & the US.
RippleX isn’t about funding companies, it’s about building them — it’s a high-merit, inclusive community of people who believe the future is built by those who start before they feel ready. At the earliest stages, we help find co-founders, sharpen their vision, and unlock networks that bend the arc of their success.
About Pear
Pear VC is a pre-seed and seed stage VC firm that partners with entrepreneurs from their earliest days to build category defining companies. Pear has backed iconic companies such as DoorDash, Guardant, Gusto, Branch, Vanta, Aurora Solar, and more at the earliest stages. We're company builders, with our Partners having founded 15+ startups. We help companies find product-market fit, recruit their first engineering hire, and overcome other critical business challenges.
We are official event hosts with Waterloo Tech Week 2025, a celebration of what’s been built here, and what’s still to come. We’re building something great together. September 8-11, 2025. waterlootechweek.ca
