RiSC Capital

RiSC Capital presents itself as a venture capital firm and describes itself as a deep tech venture fund. The firm does not publicly disclose its legal fund structure, limited partner composition, or AUM, so whether it operates as a single-fund vehicle or a series of funds is not verifiable from public records.

The firm invests at the pre-seed and seed stages. Its portfolio page lists each company by stage, and no later-stage or growth rounds appear. Testimonials reference leading seed financings and being a startup's first institutional check.

No investment decision-makers are named on the firm's website. The site uses collective language ('we are engineers funding engineers') and founder testimonials reference 'the RiSC Capital guys,' but no individual principal, partner, or investment committee member is identified.

Almost exclusively not. Of the named portfolio companies, however, Peregrine Hydrogen is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, suggesting the firm will occasionally deploy across the border for deep tech deals when the founding team has a connection to the Canadian ecosystem.

The firm's deal-sourcing model is not described publicly. Given its focus on university-lab spinouts and technical founders — companies like EECOMOBILITY and ViewsML both originated from academic research — a plausible inference is that sourcing runs through Canadian research universities and technical founder networks, but no formal structure is disclosed.
