Investment thesis

Berkocorp is a Canadian family office that invests across venture capital, private equity, and niche strategies via both fund commitments and direct investments. It backs managers with differentiated perspectives, specialist capabilities, and hard-to-reproduce ecosystem positions, favoring strategies that don't scale and hard-to-understand corners where specialist insight matters. The firm invests equity only, with a long-term orientation that allows it to hold positions across market and fund cycles. Deployment is steady and consistent, aimed at building durable partnerships. Activity is primarily focused on the U.S. and Canada, with select investments elsewhere. Investment decisions are made directly by the principals.
