Real Ventures treats founder development and executive coaching as a core part of its support, offering leadership retreats and coaching alongside capital, and it even backs aspiring founders before they start companies through its Real Fellowship. The firm also builds broader startup infrastructure across Canada, having created the FounderFuel accelerator, partnered with Techstars Toronto, supported student-led investing through Front Row Ventures, expanded nationally beyond its Montreal roots, and tracked how many women-founded companies it backs.
