Round13 Capital is a Toronto investment firm co-founded by Lavalife co-founder Bruce Croxon and veteran venture investor John Eckert. It focuses mainly on growth-stage venture capital and later-stage tech-enabled services businesses in Canada, and only selectively does seed deals. Its themes are vertical software, e-commerce, tech-enabled services, disruptive retail and AI. Recent platforms include the software consolidator Apex Group Technologies and the proptech group RealServus. The investment team is small: two managing partners, a principal, an analyst and a director of investment, plus venture partners and operating executives.
Main strategy: backing Canadian technology companies that have found product-market fit and need capital and hands-on help to scale.
Investments in services and consolidation platforms such as RealServus (real estate brokerage brands) and Apex Group Technologies (buys and grows mission-critical software businesses).
Strategy led by Venture Partner Amin Lalani, backing searchers and founders who solve succession problems by buying and modernizing businesses.
Occasional seed-stage investments alongside the growth strategy.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Round13 Capital
Venture interviews test sourcing and judgement rather than technicals. Bring a company they have not invested in and explain why you would back it, then name a portfolio company of theirs you find interesting and why. That does more than any structural reason.
Growth-stage Canadian technology, filling the gap between seed and large US growth rounds, which is a real structural position in this market.
Separate digital asset strategy alongside the core fund.
Small team with a defined Canadian focus.
Coming soon
We’re collecting the real technical and behavioural questions candidates were asked at Round13 Capital, by role and office, and how each round runs.
When they’re in, they’ll be part of BSO Pro, which already has candidate reports for dozens of firms.
Interviewing there sooner than that? Get in touch and we’ll help you prepare.
How juniors get in
Small Toronto team that employs an Analyst on the investment side, but it posts roles rarely, so watch its SmartRecruiters board and reach out directly.
Green: evidence it does. Struck through: evidence it doesn’t. Dashed: no public evidence either way.
Each row is a start season; the bars are when you apply. The track starts this month, so how far right a bar sits is how far off it is.

BSO has not confirmed a timetable for Round13 Capital on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
