Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at GreenSky Ventures?
Rick Nathan and Peter Carrescia, both Managing Directors, lead all investment decisions. Nathan previously co-founded Kensington Capital Partners, a major Canadian private equity fund-of-funds, and Carrescia was a founding team member at OMERS Ventures. The partnership structure concentrates decision-making authority in the two managing directors, supported by an advisory bench of operating partners drawn from portfolio company exits.
Does GreenSky participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
GreenSky deploys exclusively through direct company investments, primarily in Canada. The firm does not make fund-of-fund commitments or invest in third-party managed vehicles, distinguishing it from Nathan's earlier work at Kensington Capital Partners, which was built on fund-of-funds construction.
What is GreenSky's known geographic focus?
Portfolio exposure centers on Ontario and British Columbia, reflecting the firm's Toronto headquarters and the concentration of Canadian technology talent in those provinces. Co-investment syndicates occasionally include US-based participants, but GreenSky does not lead rounds outside Canada as a general practice.
