Rhino Ventures is a VC fund in Vancouver focused on Financial Services and Software. There is more to choosing an investor than selecting the term sheet with the highest valuation. Strategic capital, in its true form, extends the founding team’s capacity. That’s what we do at Rhino. We invest in companies where we can add tangible value. We’ve been on the other side of the table and appreciate the importance of funder and founderalignment. From startup, growth to exit; it is entrepreneurial ambition that drives value, not venture capitalists. We invest in individuals; trust and values fit are a centerpiece in every investment.
