Introducing Highline BETA

Two years ago I co-founded HIGHLINE.vc with the goal to become the #1 pre-seed investor for digital startups that headquarter in Canada. Undoubtedly, HIGHLINE has had a fantastic start (Results Infographic) as we’ve made great pre-seed investments, drove pan-Canadian acceleration impact and have responded quickly to founder needs in a rapidly evolving industry.

My ambition has always been to not only become one of the best pre-seed investors in the world, but also create a new model to catalyze disruptive innovation. This requires bolder moves and I believe founders are best served when investors are entrepreneurs themselves. That is why I’m ecstatic to announce that I’m co-founding a new company, Highline BETA with Ben Yoskovitz.

Highline BETA is a startup co-creation company that launches new ventures with leading corporations and founders.

Startup co-creation is the next evolution of corporate innovation. We are meshing Global Corporations + Top Founders + Pre-Seed Funding to build great startups.

Over ten years ago Y Combinator created a new model for funding early stage startups and by far is the global leader for startup acceleration.

Today, Highline BETA is creating a new model for startup co-creation and over the next decade we aim to become the global leader in this category.

We believe that we can co-create venture ready startups that harvest new disruptive opportunities and solve problems that keep executives up at night.
