Victory Square Technologies

Victory Square is a publicly traded venture studio, not a private fund. It raises capital through public equity markets on the Canadian Securities Exchange and retains ownership stakes across its portfolio companies rather than returning capital to limited partners upon exit. This allows retail investors to gain exposure to early-stage technology companies without meeting accredited-investor thresholds, but also subjects portfolio valuations to public-market volatility.

Shafin Diamond Tejani serves as Founder and CEO, leading investment decisions and strategic direction. He is supported by CFO Sheri Rempel on the financial and operational side and operating partners including Ray Walia, CEO of Launch Academy, who provides deal flow and startup ecosystem connectivity. Tejani has founded over 40 ventures across multiple geographies prior to launching Victory Square in 2015.

Victory Square primarily builds and acquires direct majority or significant-minority stakes in portfolio companies. The firm operates as a company builder rather than a fund-of-funds or LP in external vehicles. Its model involves incubating startups internally, acquiring existing businesses, and scaling them through centralized shared services. Direct equity positions are held on the corporate balance sheet.

The firm has not publicly outlined sector exclusions in detail, but its portfolio and stated focus areas cluster around digital health, gaming, enterprise SaaS, and blockchain infrastructure. Capital-intensive industries such as heavy manufacturing, mineral extraction, and traditional retail fall outside its operational model. The venture studio approach favors asset-light, software-centric businesses that can scale quickly with shared resources.

Unlike single-family offices drawing from a specific wealth origin, Victory Square raises capital from public equity markets. The company's common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange, providing operating capital through public offerings and secondary market liquidity. This public-studio model means capital sources include institutional investors, retail shareholders, and management's own equity holdings rather than a concentrated family wealth base.
