WE’RE IN SEARCH OF A

General Partner

The51 is seeking ambitious talent to join its firm and mission.

Five years ago, The51 set out to redefine who participates and leads in venture capital, creating space for women as Limited Partners, Fund Managers, and Founders.

Since then, we’ve established a credible presence across Canada’s capital landscape, mobilizing investors from coast to coast and across both individual and institutional spheres. Today, The51 manages two funds and partners in a third sector-specific fund, with investments spanning the nation and a growing community of thousands driving capital, leadership, and market influence forward.

With growing market interest, and the opportunity before us, The51 is recruiting for a General Partner.

We will build our future funds strategy and management with our new General Partner. What will be a constant is that we want to invest in world-changing founders and their vision and ambition to be a winner.

Our LPs are recognized leaders and change makers. Our founders are exceptional, ambitious, and very accomplished.

If you are joining us, this is what we need:

You have investing experience and track record, either as a solo GP, managing partner or senior member of a larger firm.
You’ve also been an operator who has built, raised, sold, and perhaps failed. You understand the experience of being a founder.
You see yourself as a partner to our founders. More than asking questions, you can bring experience, foresight, and championship to help them succeed.
Your experience includes being a market maker or senser, a disrupter and a problem solver, and you have exceptional financial prowess.
You love raising capital and have influence to do so.
You are a community builder (not a networker) and people are attracted to your energy and leadership. You excel at building genuine connections.
You want to go on a journey to revolutionize venture capital, and to deliver exceptional investment returns and impact. Your game of strategy is a long one.

Five years in, we are built by women, and we are building for everyone. We look forward to advancing our mission and opportunity with you.

Venture and operational experience are paramount to us, as is representation from across Canada. Headquartered in Calgary, we're eager to extend our leadership presence to other provinces and cities.
