Celtic House Venture Partners

Celtic House Venture Partners is a prominent Canadian venture capital firm founded in 1994, with offices in Ottawa and Toronto. The firm manages in excess of $425 million across three funds, including Celtic House IV backed by BDC Capital. Over three decades of investing, Celtic House has developed technology companies from inception through exit, generating 25 IPOs and successful acquisitions. The portfolio comprises 57 companies including one unicorn — GrubMarket (2021) — and 27 acquisitions including Sandvine and Auvik, alongside the NASDAQ IPO of Merqueo in December 2022. Celtic House leads rounds at the Seed through Series B stages, deploying typical checks of $5 million to $10 million across software, communications technology, AI, food technology, and e-commerce. Recent investments include Quadshift at $23 million growth equity in February 2025, Uni-One Food Group at Series A in August 2024, and UniUni at a $30 million Series C2. The firm's sector identity is built around Media Communications Technology — its thesis for the continuous rebuild of internet infrastructure driven by digital media and mobility demands. Managing Partner Larry Liu leads the Asia-focused partnership alongside Charlie Wang in Vancouver and Sky Yu covering food tech and e-commerce. The team's geographic and sector range reflects Celtic House's evolution from a Seed-stage Ottawa technology fund into a multi-geography platform with institutional conviction across software, communications, and digital consumer markets. That adaptability over 30 years distinguishes Celtic House as one of Canada's most durable venture partnerships.
