Matthew Wilson is the Founder and Managing Director of Allied Venture Partners, Western Canada’s largest angel syndicate, based in Calgary, Alberta, and began investing after exiting his CPG startup in 2012. His investment thesis targets early-stage, post-product, post-revenue software and technology companies, with a specific focus on infrastructure-layer software across Canada and the United States. Allied typically deploys checks between $50,000 and $500,000 per investment, with a historical average of $150,000, and operates as a syndicate rather than a traditional lead investor. Notable portfolio companies include early-stage rounds in Pinterest and Lyft, which Wilson invested in personally before founding Allied. The firm has completed 45 investments, with its most recent closing in Stanify in December 2025, and now includes over 2,000 global investors, mostly high-net-worth individuals and family offices. Wilson’s distinctive viewpoint emphasizes being “all-in or not in at all,” launching an MVP early, and avoiding ego-driven delays, as outlined in his public writing on entrepreneurship.
