Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Maverix Private Equity?
Founder & Managing Partner John Ruffolo and Co-Founder & Managing Partner Mark Maybank lead the firm. The investment team includes dedicated partners covering growth, healthcare innovation, technology innovation, and talent, supported by an advisory board of Canadian founders and CEOs. Final decisions rest with the partnership.
Does Maverix participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Maverix invests directly in companies through significant minority equity positions. The firm's website and public materials describe only direct growth-equity investing; there is no disclosed fund-of-funds or LP commitment program.
Which industries does Maverix explicitly avoid?
Maverix's disclosed themes — Smart Cities and Smart Enterprise — imply a negative screen on sectors outside tech-enabled infrastructure, enterprise productivity, digital health, and financial services. There is no disclosed presence in consumer brands, traditional manufacturing, hard-asset extraction, or biotech.
How does Maverix source proprietary deal flow?
The firm cites access to a top-tier network across government, founder, and investor circles, along with cross-border relationships that enable proprietary sourcing. Its Advisory Board — including Jim Balsillie, Dani Reiss, and Wes Hall — provides a direct line into the Canadian and U.S. technology and consumer ecosystems.
