New York | Vancouver | Silicon Valley | Calgary | Atlantic
who you are
You are a committed founder who has the team and the technology to unleash an idea that can change the world…either overnight or one day at a time. And you have made the personal commitment to make this change a reality.
Who We Are
That’s us too!
We have built and grown companies in New York and Toronto, Vancouver and Silicon Valley. We’ve had exits, we’ve made missteps, we’ve had breakthroughs big and small, and we’ve enjoyed the life-changing experiences that come with each venture.
And that means we know just how important those first injections of capital can be. The difference between success and failure is often decided in the very earliest stages of your business.

What We Do
We’re here to help.
Shred Capital provides early-stage funding and venture consulting for startups. We are at our best when working side-by-side with passionate entrepreneurs who are taking their first or (ideally) second swing at creating a game-changing business… or a business-changing game.
You know your business better than anyone else, but we provide the nuts and bolts analysis that can unlock the right kind of financing just when your company needs it the most.
How we do it
We approach diligence a little differently
Unlike some other investors, we aren’t necessarily in love with a good pitch deck.
Instead the team at Shred Capital works alongside you to help push your business to the next level.
Maybe it’s negotiating a merger or acquisition.
Maybe it’s optimizing the alphabet soup of tax credits (SR&ED, IDMTC, etc).
Maybe it’s acceleration for non-dilutive financing via programs like the Canada Media Fund.
Maybe it’s filing for a patent.
Maybe it’s none of these… but we provide venture financing to close the gap.
This lets us get to know you, your team, and your technology inside and out. And that working relationship allows us to structure the best long-term financing solutions for your company. In the meantime, the short-term financing we provide lets you focus on building momentum (and value) in your startup right away.
The Podcast: What Scares Startups?
It doesn’t matter if you are founding a company for the first time or the fifteenth (ok, maybe that does matter a little), the challenges, the triumphs and the night-terrors are real. But you are far from alone – check out our ongoing podcast series that talks through the problems of founders just like you.

Their expertise and willingness to help has demystified the grant writing process and have made it approachable. I felt significantly more confident with the applications that Shred were a part of."
Digscount Media Inc.
"If you're looking for another out-of-touch, big, old, scary Venture Capital firm - then don't contact Shred. From the start they made me feel at ease, and it was very clear they knew technology. They are super professional, helpful, and it's always pedal down going for great results."
Fresh Tracks

Pounse Web Solutions Inc.
"When you're a startup founder, you wear a lot of hats and spend half your time learning what you don't know. Applying for a grant was one of those unknowns that Shred Capital mentored me from start to success with a team of experts that put me and my startup first. Very excited to work with Shred in 2022."
Strawberry Fields
"The associates at Shred Capital have been welcoming, available, and supportive in so many essential facets of our company’s startup stages. Your team brings decades of knowledge in entrepreneurship, business development, public financing, tax leveraging, revenue modeling, partnership development, and investor strategy — and just as importantly, a sense of deep commitment — to complement our own creative vision and technical innovation. Together with Shred Capital, our company can present a solid set of skills, experience, reputability, and startup capital, demonstrating to public and private partners the viability of both the ideas and the implementation"

Tipbox
"As a first-time founder of a software start-up, having experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and professional advisors is critical for any chance of success. The team at Shred Capital not only are all of these attributes listed above, they also really care about your start-up and have been so helpful at every step. From helping to fine-tune our software to applying for government grants and loans to applying for SR&ED tax credits to referring experts in tax and legal, well, they know it all. I recommend anyone, who has a great idea or a great product to run, not walk to meeting the team at Shred Capital. Special mention to Matt Toner who has been an incredible mentor to me and to our company."
