FAQ

What founders ask us

Can I stay involved after the sale?

Do you consider minority investments?

We prefer majority buyouts, and we also consider minority stakes and structured partnerships when the project calls for it.

Do you invest outside Quebec?

Quebec is our priority market. We consider select opportunities elsewhere in North America.

Are our conversations confidential?
