OMERS Ventures is the venture capital arm of OMERS, a Canadian pension fund, established in 2011. It operates as a global early-stage venture capital firm focusing on growth-oriented, disruptive technology companies. Their investment thesis targets North America and Europe, with a focus on horizontal B2B applications (HSaaS), financial technology (Fintech) including financial value exchange and fintech/commerce intersections, and emerging technologies like AI, advanced manufacturing, and defense technologies. They also concentrate on specific verticals such as workplace SaaS, digital health, insurtech, and proptech. As a multi-stage investor, their core investments are in Series A, B, or C stage companies that have at least $1 million in ARR and a post-version 1.0 product.

Typical initial investments range from $5 million to $25 million, with common deal sizes between $10-50 million.
