About

Maple VC is an early-stage venture capital firm with a unique focus on backing Canadian founders building global companies. Based in San Francisco, Maple VC invests primarily at the seed stage, with portfolio companies across diverse sectors such as AI, fintech, and SaaS. Notable investments include AutoLeap, a software solution for auto repair shops, and Patch, a carbon removal platform, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to innovative, scalable technologies. The fund’s geographic focus leans heavily on Canadian founders or those with strong ties to Canadian universities, including alumni from schools like Waterloo, McGill, and the University of Toronto. Maple VC takes pride in nurturing talent, leveraging its network of advisors—comprising early employees from companies like Uber, Stripe, and Figma—to guide founders through the challenges of scaling early-stage startups. Led by Andre Charoo, Maple VC places a strong emphasis on founders’ vision, technical capabilities, and operational excellence. The firm typically leads or co-leads seed rounds and is highly selective, targeting founders who demonstrate a clear path to solving significant global problems with defensible technology. Founders are encouraged to reach out with a strong, concise pitch that aligns with Maple VC’s focus on market timing, technical differentiation, and cultural relevance. Maple VC is not just a fund, but a strategic partner, connecting Canadian entrepreneurial talent with Silicon Valley expertise to help them win on a global stage.
