- Workwolf — Workwolf is a recruitment services company that combines human recruiters with proprietary AI and psychometric technology to deliver predictive hiring intelligence at disruptive pricing. The company addresses a fundamental inefficiency in the $150B+ recruitment industry: traditional agencies charge 15-25% of candidate salary for subjectiveassessments with no performance accountability. Workwolf’s technology-enabled model delivers measurable quality improvements at significantly lower cost per hire. The proprietary technology platform includes two core components: Smart Resume Screening for contextual qualification matching, and Packfinder™ psychometrics for role-specific performance prediction. Unlike generic assessment tools, Packfinder™ models are calibrated using client performance data, creating organization-specific predictions that improve with scale. The business model starts at fees as low as 4% of annual salary for high-volume roles, rather than percentage-based fees of 15-25%, creating favorable unit economics for high-volume clients while maintaining strong margins through technology leverage. This pricing structure aligns incentives around retention rather than salary inflation. Target customers are mid-market companies with consistent hiring volume (2+ hires/month) across multiple locations—particularly retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and call centers. These segments offer predictable demand and benefit most from Workwolf’s pattern recognition capabilities across distributed operations. The platform generates compounding data advantages: each hire provides performance outcome data that refines predictive models, creating a defensible moat as the system processes more hiring decisions within and across client organizations. Workwolf is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

The team has demonstrated a track record of engaging with talented leaders using innovative solutions to create value across a wide array of industries.The investment focus is primarily on markets where incredible innovation is taking place, the cost to operate abusiness is relatively low, and there is a lack of seed capital available relative to the early stage opportunities that exist. Some people call these markets "flyover cities" or "tier 2 and tier 3" startup ecosystems. We consider them to be the capital efficient markets where our capital and strategic value can go a long way to help a founding team achieve their goals.Current primary focus areas are B2B Software and Esports.
