We back founders creating the next wave of real estate innovation, helping them reach customers and scale quickly.
We launched myVentures to invest in early-stage technology companies that share our vision for where the real estate industry is headed.
myVentures combines capital, industry insight, and access to a network of brokerages to help founders bring new products and experiences to market faster.
Capital from investors and operators who understand Canadian real estate and have built and backed successful technology companies.
Access to agents, brokerages, and industry leaders for product feedback and practical guidance on how the industry actually works.
Go-to-market playbooks and hands-on support to accelerate your path to market — with access to brokerages, agents, and consumers across myAbode’s network and beyond.
Access to office and event space as well as a community of founders and operators who have navigated similar challenges.
"The pace of change in real estate has accelerated dramatically, driven in large part by advances in artificial intelligence. Many of the most exciting innovations are emerging from the startup community, and myVentures enables us to invest in and collaborate with those innovators to bring the best technology into our ecosystem."
We’re investors and builders with deep roots in proptech, software, and brokerage operations. We don’t just provide capital; we provide a real-world laboratory for your product.
myVentures brings together deep investment experience of Alate Partners and the operational bench of myAbode. Our team has scaled platforms at Shopify and Ada, and led major Canadian brokerages like Right at Home and Property.ca. We understand the friction of go-to-market because we navigate it every day. As a founder, you gain a partner who can accelerate your product adoption within the very environments you’re built to serve.

If you’re a founder building technology for the Canadian real estate industry and want a partner who brings more than capital, we’d love to hear from you.
Our primary focus is minority investments in early-stage companies where we can be most helpful. We typically participate in existing rounds rather than leading, but where there’s clear strategic value for both sides, we’re open to finding the right structure to make it work.
Not necessarily. We look for opportunities with a clear path to partnership and focus on building successful partnerships, understanding that investment and commercial agreements may happen on different timelines. Depending on where you are in your product journey, there are different ways we can best support companies.
myAbode is focused on delivering best-in-class technology for brokerages and agents, and better experiences for renters and homeowners across the country. While this is our core focus, we also invest ahead of the curve and engage early with ambitious founders shaping where the industry is headed. Residential is core — but not exclusively.
Our main differentiator is our connection to myAbode and investors focused exclusively on proptech. We help founders move faster by sharing hard-earned learnings, refining positioning, and guiding go-to-market within myAbode’s network of brokerages and more than 7,000 agents. This can include product discovery sessions, targeted introductions, and, in some cases, product integration.
We’re based downtown and can provide space where founders can work, collaborate, and connect.
Information is first reviewed by a small myVentures team and, when helpful, shared selectively within myAbode to assess potential fit. Share only what your comfortable with — enough to determine whether it makes sense to start a conversation and we can go from there.
Courtney and Stephanie are involved with both myVentures and Alate Partners, but these are separate funds. If you contact Alate directly, those conversations are confidential and any materials are only shared with myVentures with your consent.
Absolutely. Beyond founders, we’re excited to connect with great people across the real estate industry — from software engineers and sales leaders to realtors and brokerage owners. We’re building a community through events, mentorship, and thought leadership. If you’re interested in sharing ideas, contributing your expertise, or helping shape the future of the industry alongside innovative peers and companies, please get in touch.
