Industrialized Execution for Canadian B2B Services.
As a "bilingual" (tech + finance) independent sponsor, we acquire profitable, niche service businesses and realize the value of their nascent tech seeding—the proprietary internal tools and specialized workflows that traditional markets fail to price correctly.
We bridge the gap between stable service-business cash flow and technology-multiple exits. We are not venture capital; we focus on realized assets.
The Value Disconnect in the Lower-Middle Market
The Canadian lower-middle market contains significant unpriced value: profitable, niche service businesses whose proprietary internal technical innovations remain unvalued by traditional capital sources.
- Generalist Private Equity (PE): Frequently mischaracterizes proprietary internal tools as "technical debt" or unnecessary operational overhead.
- Venture Capital (VC): Disregards the stable cash flow of "bricks and mortar" service firms in favour of speculative software hypotheses.
Backer North bridges this gap by applying a "bilingual" (tech + finance) lens to protect the service legacy and realize the value of nascent tech seeding.

The "Rental Properties" vs. Moonshots
We acquire stable cash-flowing service businesses and "renovate" them into high-multiple technical assets.
Industrialized Technical Triage
We manage a proprietary pipeline of 108 targets across seven service verticals. We use a clinical, three-step process to de-risk acquisitions and realize unpriced value.

I. Scientific Audit
We audit code integrity and scalability before committing capital. Our technical board identifies software assets that generalist buyers miss. This eliminates technical risk at entry.
II. Valuation Discipline
We target profitable niches with a stable cash-flow floor. We maintain strict entry discipline at service-sector multiples. We do not pay venture premiums for realized revenue.
III. Strategic Re-rating
We productize nascent tech seeding into scalable software platforms. This transitions the asset to a technology-multiple valuation. We build alpha through engineering, not speculation.
The Technical Triage Board
Fiduciary oversight and technical validation. A multi-disciplinary circle of practitioners. We eliminate selection risk by auditing every asset through two lenses: Institutional Finance and Scientific Systems.
We are supported by a Tier 1 tranche of technical operators and are currently inviting Tier 2 tranche leads with institutional rigour to anchor our Execution Facility.
The Next Step
We are closing the initial $200k CAD Execution Facility. These funds secure the final roadmap for our first platform acquisition.
