Overview
Simple Ventures is a Canadian venture studio dedicated to creating, funding, and scaling new companies. Founded by Rachel Zimmer and Michael Katchen, the studio emphasizes sustainable and profitable business models rather than high-risk ventures. With a focus on Canadian-localized business ideas, Simple Ventures aims to be the first cheque for founders with concepts that solve ignored problems in Canada. The firm blends elements of search funds, private equity, and venture capital, prioritizing capital efficiency and operator ownership. As of September 2025, Simple Ventures has closed CAD 15 million toward its first fund, targeting CAD 18-20 million in total. The studio seeks to validate ideas and pair them with experienced leaders to foster growth and profitability.
