Allied Venture Partners

Allied Venture Partners is Western Canada's largest angel syndicate, founded in 2020 in Calgary by Matt Wilson, an exited founder and angel investor with more than 100 personal investments since 2012 and 7 exits including Pinterest and Lyft. Wilson built Allied to share his deal flow after eight years as an angel investor and VC scout, and the syndicate has grown to more than 2,000 investors globally who have collectively deployed over $6 million into early-stage technology startups across Canada and the United States. Allied invests in post-product, post-revenue seed and Series A software and technology companies, deploying $50,000 to $500,000 per investment. The syndicate is industry-agnostic within technology and explicitly excludes medtech, biotech, healthcare, and cannabis. Infrastructure software is a core thesis — seeking companies building foundational layers analogous to Databricks, Stripe, Canva, or Airtable in large, rapidly expanding markets. The firm has completed 45 investments with its most recent closing in Stanify in December 2025. Allied also operates on AngelList and runs a scout programme to source deal flow. The platform's defining asset is the quality and diversity of its LP base. With 2,000 or more investors across geographies, portfolio companies gain access to a broad network of operators, founders, and commercial introductions that a conventional two-partner fund cannot match. Wilson's hands-on experience building and exiting companies shapes a practical, founder-first approach to due diligence and support — Allied backs founders who are already in market and generating revenue, then helps them accelerate through the network.
