Loyal VC
VC Fund
Toronto, Canada
Loyal VC is a VC fund in Toronto focused on Artificial Intelligence and Software. Loyal runs a global venture fund with quarterly redemptions and a proprietary gate-stage process, reducing investment bias and unlocking greater returns. Partnered with INSEAD, Founder Institute, and 1000+ advisors, with 350+ investments in 60+ countries.We are a bit of an unusual fund with very specific referral partners for all of our sourcing,so unfortunately, unless your startup is from these sources, it will fall outside of our mandate. The three are: Founder Institute – we fund selected graduates referred by their directors, INSEAD – we fund selected INSEAD graduates, after diligence calls with their network, and Investors in our fund can tell us how to allocate some of their investment.In the longer term as our fund grows, we plan to be able to accept founders referred from additional sources, or someday even direct applicants. We can’t yet. If you don’t have one of the three referrers above, it doesn't make sense to discuss an initial investment.
