Frequently asked questions
How does Tangentia Ventures source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's primary sourcing edge comes from Tangentia Inc.'s existing client relationships and its deep integration within North American-Indian enterprise tech corridors. Because the parent company provides digital transformation services to mid-market and enterprise clients, Thomas and his team encounter startups building adjacent or complementary tools in automation, integration, and fintech. The India presence also surfaces deals from founders building for global markets out of Bangalore and Mumbai who need a credible go-to-market bridge into Canada and the US (per the firm's official communications).
What investment stages does Tangentia Ventures typically target?
The firm targets very early stages — pre-seed, seed, and occasionally Series A — where its operational support model generates the most asymmetric value. Because Tangentia Inc. can supply engineering and design capacity, the fund can commit to companies with minimal revenue and a strong technical founder, effectively de-risking the product-build phase in a way a purely financial investor cannot.
How is Tangentia Ventures related to Tangentia Inc.?
Tangentia Ventures is a distinct legal entity but operates as the investment division of the Tangentia group, both founded by Vijay Thomas. Tangentia Inc. is a global IT services and consulting firm with offices in Canada, the US, and India. The ventures arm draws on the parent's talent pool, client base, and geographic footprint to support portfolio companies, with Thomas overseeing both entities. This creates a shared economic interest but also requires careful governance around resource pricing and conflicts of interest.
