FACIT lists 38 checked portfolio companies on its own site. Its largest themes are Healthcare & Biotech (88%), Education (8%) and Industrial & Manufacturing (3%). 79% of its companies are based in Canada. It invests most often alongside Creative Destruction Lab, Toronto Innovation Acceleration Partners and Spring.

No funding round on record names FACIT yet, so the figures come from its portfolio page.

Round figures show recent activity, not FACIT's whole history. Rounds on record name 0 companies; its own site lists 38. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
