FAMILY OFFICES AND INSTITUTIONS

Capital partners who prefer the whole arc.

Canterbury works with family offices and other institutional investors who want businesses that require capital from start-up to exit — not a single round and a handover.

A preference, stated plainly.

The companies we spend time on are usually seed, early, or early-growth. They sit in advertising technology, financial technology, health, or financial services. They will need more than one decision about capital: a first financing, a later round, sometimes debt, sometimes a buyer or a merger.

That is the profile we bring to investors who would rather know the company than rent a place in a syndicate. Introductions are selective. We do not run a public deal feed, and this page is not an offer of any security.

Individual experience described on the team page is personal history. It is not a fund track record and should not be read as one.

AdTech

Advertising and marketing technology. Software and platforms that help advertisers reach people, measure what happened, and run the work of marketing with less waste.

FinTech

Financial technology. Software and platforms that change how money, credit, payments, risk, or financial operations actually move.

HealthTech

Health and life sciences technology. Devices, software, and solutions used by clinicians, operators, or patients — where the buyer is identifiable and the path to use is real.

Financial services

Companies in financial services themselves, not only the software around them. We look for a clear customer, a compliance posture that can survive growth, and a reason the firm should exist beside incumbents.

Health products

Pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and other health-product innovation. This is a part of the practice with a long personal history on the team, including company-building, product acquisitions, and financing.

  • What we are actually asking

    Who buys this, and why now. Who is building it, and whether they have done hard things before. What the company sells today, what it expects to sell, and whether the next two or three years of numbers can be defended. How much capital is required, and what it buys. A polished deck is useful. It is not a substitute for those answers. The submission form is built around them.
