About Us
Founded by Nick Rowe, Canoe Capital is an investment vehicle formed to acquire a small to medium-sized business, integrate with your management team, and operate for the long term.
We work with founders who care about their business and the communities it serves. We will take a direct, full-time role in the business and optimize for sustainable growth, not short-term profits. Building upon what you’ve created is our sole focus.
Investment Criteria
At a high level, we seek businesses with:
An established history of consistent annual profitability with a high degree of recurring revenue
Annual revenue of approximately $3M-$25M; EBITDA of $1M-$4M+
Identifiable and actionable growth opportunities
We are not restricted to specific industries- please reach out to see whether your business might be a fit.
Partnering With Us
We believe in building trust through integrity, respect, and humility. Just like you, we are entrepreneurs and operators. Our approach is personal and, unlike private equity firms and strategic acquirers, not constrained by rigid investment committees and lengthy processes.
We commit to long-term growth and continuity for your employees and partners and to structuring an exit opportunity and succession plan that meets your goals.
Meet Nick Rowe!
Nick approaches entrepreneurship drawing from his experience as an advisor, investor, and operator. He spent most of his career working in multi-family offices, where he oversaw the allocation of ~$1.5B of investable assets and helped families navigate decisions at the intersection of wealth and life. From this experience, he is intimately familiar with the role that a business can play in an owner’s personal (and financial) life.
In addition, he brings operational experience and a growth-oriented mindset from the hospitality technology industry. At Airbnb in San Francisco, he helped to develop and expand the platform for hotels. And working for Asia’s largest hotel chain, he drove the market entry and expansion strategy for the United States and led competitive insights.
Through these experiences, Nick brings an analytical mindset combined with a human-centered approach.
Nick holds an MBA from INSEAD, France, and a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Claremont McKenna College.
In his free time, Nick enjoys road cycling, scuba diving, and cooking for family and friends. Nick currently lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife, Anusha.
