Metiquity Ventures

Founding partners Bryan Slauko, CFA, and Jacques LaPointe, MBA, P.Eng., lead the firm’s investment decisions. Slauko brings a finance and investments background, while LaPointe adds deep technical and operational insight from his engineering career. They are supported by a board that includes leaders from Platform Calgary and CoolIT Systems.

Based on disclosed portfolio data, Metiquity’s pre-seed checks range from $400,000 to $450,000 in individual rounds. The firm led a larger $840,000 pre-seed round for Bidaya AI in October 2025, suggesting some flexibility when acting as lead investor.

Metiquity’s website focuses exclusively on digital technology — B2B SaaS, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and IoT, machine learning, and big data analytics. The firm does not list any exposure to life sciences, hardware-heavy deep tech outside software, or traditional resource extraction, which are common in Alberta’s broader investment landscape.

Metiquity’s sourcing is embedded in Alberta’s local tech ecosystem, with board relationships spanning Platform Calgary, NACO, and the U.S. Angel Capital Association. Their blog emphasizes founder-market fit and execution velocity, and they publicly invite entrepreneurs to apply directly through the website.

The firm describes itself as a pre-seed fund, but its portfolio page lists a $300,000 seed-round investment in WaitWell alongside an initial $150,000. This suggests Metiquity can continue supporting portfolio companies into seed stages when the right conditions exist.

Board members include Sandi Gilbert and Dean Prodan, alongside representatives from Platform Calgary, CoolIT Systems, and Intergen Capital. The board adds an extra layer of due diligence and industry perspective; the firm states this structure is designed to benefit both investors and portfolio founders.

Metiquity Ventures does not disclose its limited partners or the source of its committed capital. The firm publicly encourages accredited investors to explore co-investment and fund participation through its website, framing itself as a vehicle for pioneers who want to back Alberta’s pre-seed technology companies.
