Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Genesys Capital?
Co-founders Damian Lamb and Kelly Holman remain the firm's managing directors and lead its investment committee. Both have been with the firm since its 2000 founding and bring operational and venture experience from prior Canadian healthcare ventures.
What investment stages does Genesys Capital target?
Genesys concentrates on seed and Series A rounds, occasionally extending into Series B for existing portfolio companies. The firm is comfortable with pre-revenue risk, provided the underlying science or device design has strong intellectual property and a clear path to clinical validation or regulatory approval.
How does Genesys Capital source its deal flow?
The firm draws the majority of its deal flow from Canada's university tech-transfer offices, teaching-hospital research institutes, and its founders' long-standing networks in the Canadian life-sciences community. The firm's two-decade track record as a dedicated sector investor gives it early visibility into academic spin-outs that generalist firms overlook.
Does Genesys Capital invest only in Canada?
The firm's mandate is predominantly Canadian, but Genesys will selectively participate in US-based rounds where the company has a significant Canadian operational or scientific nexus, or where the firm's clinical expertise offers a clear advantage.
Is Genesys Capital a single-family office or a traditional venture firm?
Genesys is structured as a traditional venture capital fund manager raising capital from institutional limited partners, including Canadian pension funds, government innovation agencies, and other institutional allocators — not as a family office.
