MAYKER CAPITAL
Why Partner With Us
We get it—selling your business is a big decision, especially when it’s your baby. You’ve built something special, a profitable and scalable business that thrives in its space. We’re here to help you take it to the next level without losing what makes it unique.
What Makes Us Different
Mayker aims to be the partner of choice for founders.
At Mayker, we specialize in working with founder-led online businesses, particularly in software. Our Venture-Buyout approach is different—we’re not about drastic changes or taking over your vision. We’re about partnering with you to grow what you’ve already built, while letting you take some chips off the table. Whether you’re looking to fully exit or stay hands-on, we provide flexibility and founder-friendly terms that align with your goals.

How our Partners Benefit
Selling your business doesn’t have to mean losing control or compromising your vision. With us, it’s about a true partnership—one that values your expertise, your people, and the future you envision for your company. Let’s work together to keep building, innovating, and scaling—at a pace that makes sense.
Flexible Deals, Founder-Friendly Terms
Whether you’re ready to fully transition out or want to stay and scale alongside us, we are flexible and create fully bespoke agreements that fit your goals. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—we listen to what you need and build around that.
Wide Network of Advisors & Partners
You won’t just get our team—you’ll gain access to our entire network. From growth strategists to industry experts, we connect you with the right people to accelerate your business without losing its core identity.
Experienced Operators
Our team isn’t just financial experts. We’re operators. We’ve been in your shoes, running businesses, solving problems, and scaling companies. We know the challenges you face and have the experience to help you navigate them.
Keep What Makes You Special
We’re not about forcing radical changes. We invest in businesses with strong foundations, and we believe in preserving what makes your company great. Our job is to amplify your strengths, not change who you are.

What is Venture-Buyout?
Venture-buyout is the best of both worlds—a blend of venture capital’s growth-focused investment with the operational support of a traditional buyout. It’s an approach designed for founder-led, profitable businesses that are ready to scale but want more than just growth capital.
MAYKER CAPITAL
What Venture-Buyout Means For Us
In short, venture-buyout offers the financial backing and strategic insight to grow your company, without sacrificing what made it successful in the first place.
We acquire a majority stake in your business, solidifying the success you’ve achieved, but unlike typical buyouts, we encourage founders to stay involved. Wether that’s a seat on the board or a hands-on operational role, it’s up to you. Venture-Buyout gives you the option to keep driving your vision forward while tapping into our resources to fuel growth.
Strategic Capital + Operational Expertise
You’ll get the resources and hands-on assistance you need to expand. We don’t just invest money—we help scale your business, providing strategic guidance and access to our wide network of advisors and partners.
Tailored for Your Business
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our venture-buyout model is flexible, designed to support your unique business goals while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit that got you this far.

With over a decade of experience supporting startups with strategic guidance and growth capital, I currently serve as a Principal Product Strategist at WillowTree (Telus Digital Subsidiary). In this role, I help Fortune 500 companies uncover digital CX opportunities leveraging AI tools and develop comprehensive mobile/web app solutions.
My expertise lies in guiding tech ventures from seed to Series A stages, helping them navigate common pitfalls and align their product roadmaps with revenue goals. As the former VP of Product at Boast, I led the creation of a platform that simplified access to R&D tax credits and government incentives for businesses.
My background spans financial analysis, go-to-market strategy, and product development. I’ve supported hundreds of startups through roles at Flow Capital, Lighter Capital, and the Business Development Bank of Canada, offering both growth capital and strategic guidance.
Today, I focus on the intersection of product development and revenue growth, providing insights and strategies that prevent others from making mistakes I’ve seen firsthand. By leveraging my experience, I help companies optimize their operations, refine their product offerings, and quantify the ROI of their product roadmap.
