Director, Investor Relations

The Company  

InvestX was launched in 2014 with a mission to bring transparency and trust to the private equity market. We are a leading cross-border pre-IPO investor offering access to private equity deals that, for many decades, were exclusive to a limited investing population.    

With over US$500 million in investments and 80+ portfolio companies, we work with leading North American registered firms to offer accredited investors private equity investment opportunities in companies including Open AI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Airbnb, SoFi, Spotify, DocuSign, and many more. We have successfully launched multiple SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles) and diversified funds and are currently investing in our fifth fund.    

InvestX is backed by leading financial institutions Jefferies, Virtu Financial, and Canaccord Genuity and has been featured in CNBC, Forbes, Bloomberg, U.S. News, Business Insider, Reuters, The Globe and Mail, and many other publications.
