Fueling Canada’s next generation of founders

First Flight Angels is an early-stage syndicate investing in high-potential Canadian startups that traditional capital overlooks.

We back founders at the moment they need it most — before traction, before hype, before the crowd.

Our mission is simple: help exceptional Canadian founders take flight — with the capital, mentorship, and community to build globally significant companies from Canadian soil.
