Job Description & How to Apply Below
We founded Simple Ventures with the mission of building great Canadian companies. Our thesis is simple:
Canada is overlooked and under-appreciated. Most companies around the world ignore Canada because of perceived market size, regulation, language, and powerful oligopolies. As a result, Canadians miss out.
But we know better. Canada is a top 10 global economy with many of the same consumer and business pain points as other markets. This creates an opportunity to bring the best product ideas to Canada - to see what’s working around the world and be first to execute for Canadians.
We’re funded and supported by Canada’s top leaders including the founders of Wealthsimple, Shopify, Ada, Mind Beacon and many more. We are always looking for talented leaders to partner with!
We identify and vet new company concepts that we have high conviction should be built and scaled in Canada. Our building philosophy is pragmatic. We look for concepts that have positive unit economics and that have a credible path to profitability with an initial Seed investment. Once we have conviction in a new venture concept, we look for a talented operator to partner with to build and scale the company with!
We are recruiting a CEO for our next venture.
The Opportunity
We are launching a healthcare technology platform with a simple mission: help Canadians get the access to care they need, faster and with less friction. Today, this category is highly regulated and operationally complex, yet it still runs on fragmented providers, manual workflows, and inconsistent patient and partner experiences. That gap creates real downstream harm, delays decisions, and adds stress at the moments people most need clarity.
We believe a coordinated, software-first approach can deliver a step-change in speed, reliability, and transparency, while building durable workflow and network advantages over time.
This role is best suited for a founder-calibre operator who wants the top seat with real ownership, and who is excited to build from day 1 with SV as a highly engaged partner.
