Startup TNT believes that great entrepreneurs exist everywhere, and their local communities are best equipped to identify and support them. We believe that if entrepreneurs and investors are friends before a startup raises capital, those investments, and the community in turn, will be more successful. We also believe that angel investing is core for us properly diversifying our economy. (Because the government isn't going to do all of the heavy lifting here). Tangibly, TNT is: - A weekly happy hour in major cities across Western Canada to create an oasis for entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, and general supporters of the startup world, to meet and create lasting relationships. None of this "trade business cards and pretend like we're going to go for coffee" business - actually hanging out and getting to know each other. - An Investment Summit where we create new angel investors (accredited investors -> angels), new lead investors (angels -> leads), and educate entrepreneurs on what investors are looking for so that both sides can more effectively do deals. To do this, we raise money from investors into a hold co and facilitate a collective deal screening process so that all sides learn together. To date, we've raised $20M+ from 500+ investors across Canada. - A Venture Capital Fund that co-invests with the angels in the Summit, helps companies get to their next round with light mentorship and connections, and then makes follow-on investments into the best performing companies in the portfolio. Ultimately TNT is a connecting point. We manufacture serendipity. Entrepreneurs need help with so many things (it takes a village), and there are so many people with expertise, connections, and love to give. TNT loves to bring the right people to the table so that our community can spool up and build as fast as possible.

4th Street Capital (“4SC”) was created to fill a gap in the market – it is difficult to find competent and patient transition capital for founders looking to retire or management looking to acquire their business. Together, we want to help others transition their life’s work in a sustainable way, to a skilled team that will work alongside existing staff to carry on the legacy that’s been created. 4SC is looking for lower middle-market companies that have founder(s) that are planning for retirement or owners looking to exit to their management. 4SC’s investment strategy is to acquire businesses that are consistently generating cash flow and attractive returns on invested capital. 4SC is no stranger to complex situations, and is happy to discuss a structure that works for the founder(s). Our first acquisition was of Buffalo Inspection Services Inc. in 2024, where we helped exit a prior financial acquirer and support management to have a platform for their growth plans.

Exited to SCA (now Essity) in a transaction closed September 2016, Sensassure is building a sensor that attaches to the outside of any commercially available adult incontinence product to detect the level of moisture on the inside of the product from the outside. The integrated system then relays that critical information to nursing home caregivers to provide the data that they need in order to provide the best continence care possible, restoring dignity and health to our seniors.
