Venture platform Est. 2015 Oakville, Ontario

We build, back, and sit on the boards of the companies we believe in.

Techneya takes early positions in cybersecurity, AI, and sports and entertainment technology. When the company we want to back does not exist yet, we start it.

01 The model

A venture platform with a builder’s bias.

iBuild
We originate ventures where we see a gap that nobody is filling, then staff and fund them ourselves.
iiBack
Seed capital deployed early, in companies we would have started if the founders had not got there first.
iiiRepresent
Board seats and technical advisory. An operator in the room, not a name on the cap table.

02 Focus

Four sectors. One thesis: own the trust layer.

  2. Faceted glass shield on a dark field
  3. Glass arena ring on a dark field
  4. Neural glass bloom on a dark field

Tech Talks

The forum and podcast

Founders, operators, and investors in the same room, on stage and on air. The first season is in production.

First episodes: in production

04 Approach

Patient capital, close to the work. We take positions early, sit on boards, and stay until the company can run without us. We back founders we would build with.
