TekStart is a leading management consulting and engagement firm in Toronto, Canada. TekStart is an expert in consumer electronics, automotive cybersecurity, sustainability, semiconductor, and blockchain/crypto markets. Initially established in 2008, the team comprises C-level executives with extensive industry experience in launching and exiting start-ups and service organizations.
Recently, our friends at Boldstart Ventures wrote a piece about “Inception Investing,” investing at the formation stage of the company, highlighting the evolution we’re seeing in the seed-stage venture market. We believe “Seed is the new Series A”, and that we must align our strategies and core competencies to where they’re best positioned for today’s market.
While there are many different ways to play the Seed market, we’ve largely aligned around “Inception” investments (including our 6 most recent deals). This entry point enables us to get great exposure to teams heavily aligned with our strengths. We’ll even go as early as starting companies alongside founders (having incubated four companies in the last ten years).
Through innovative training and development methodologies, TekStart aims to bring the best industry sales, marketing, and business development practices to companies of all sizes.
In addition, TekStart's R&D team can lead cost-optimization projects by designing and delivering semiconductor solutions across various industries.
