Eventi Capital Partners

Eventi Capital Partners (ECP) is a Toronto-based growth capital investment group established in 2002. The firm specializes in providing capital to companies operating in software-as-a-service (SaaS), Internet infrastructure services, and, more recently, medical devices. ECP focuses on investing in passionate entrepreneurs who possess deep domain expertise and are committed to building scalable companies that deliver exceptional value to their customers. The firm's investment approach spans various stages, from early revenue and transition phases to later stages of growth.

Founded by Bill Di Nardo, a serial entrepreneur and venture investor, Eventi Capital Partners was formed in 2002. Di Nardo transitioned from an entrepreneurial role, notably as the founder and former President and CEO of Grocery Gateway Inc., to an investor. The firm was initially designed to capitalize on opportunities in the dot-com aftermath and evolved to concentrate on technology-driven operating companies. The managing partners leverage their extensive operational and investment experience to help CEOs scale their businesses more predictably.

Eventi Capital Partners maintains a portfolio of companies across its focus sectors. Notable investments include Kinetic Commerce, a digital commerce SaaS provider; Tenzing, a SaaS and eCommerce managed service provider; and Base Pair Biotechnologies, an aptamer discovery and development company. The firm has also invested in companies like Ceryx (enterprise cloud service provider), Visualase (image-guided medical laser technology), ThinData (enterprise email marketing solutions), and Environics Analytics (market research and analysis). Recently, Eventi Capital Partners participated in the Series A financing round for Common Wealth, a Toronto-based FinTech startup.

The team at Eventi Capital Partners comprises experienced operators and serial entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of managing high-growth businesses. Key management team members include Bill Di Nardo, Scott Bryan, Derek Ruston, and Peter Milazzo. Advisors such as Alan Broadbent, Brian O’Neil, and Jim McGill also contribute their expertise. The firm takes an active, hands-on approach, working closely with CEOs and management teams to shape strategy and assist in execution, rather than passively sitting on boards.
