About Gary Little

Gary Little brings an unusual combination of senior operating experience at Sun Microsystems and Apple (including running the PowerMac division) before returning to venture capital, explicitly grounding his value-add in go-to-market expertise rather than purely financial training. He helped architect the spin-out that created Canvas Ventures from Morgenthaler Ventures as a focused IT firm, and operates as a hands-on company builder who personally recruits full executive teams for early-stage companies while maintaining a concentrated investment approach of 7-10 board positions.

Canvas Ventures is a boutique, thesis-driven fund that focuses on a small number of sectors—fintech, digital health, marketplaces, logistics—and maintains a small number of companies per partner to move quickly and stay deeply involved, contrasting with spray-and-pray early-stage models. The firm has built an unusually strong, structured go-to-market platform for an early-stage fund, creating a formal GTM Council of senior marketing and sales operators from companies like Uber, Peloton, and Headspace to help portfolio companies with positioning, channels, and growth while publishing GTM playbooks under their "GTM Insights" brand.
