Frequently asked questions
Which sectors does Ferst Capital Partners focus on?
The firm concentrates on enterprise software, financial technology, and applied artificial intelligence and machine learning tooling. Its investment thesis emphasizes B2B technology companies with early commercial traction, rather than consumer-facing applications or capital-intensive hardware plays.
How does Ferst source its deals?
The firm relies on a network of exited Montreal founders, technical executives, and local operators rather than formal accelerator demo days or banker-led auctions. This operator-first, geographically concentrated sourcing model means many of Ferst's portfolio companies are not broadly shopped before receiving the firm's term sheet.
