Preserving Legacies.
Building the Future.
Fort York Ventures is a family investment firm that acquires and grows
enduring, family-owned businesses in North America and Western Europe.
Respecting the Past.
Investing in the Future.
We partner with business owners who are ready to step away — and want to ensure their life’s work continues in capable, caring hands.
Our focus is long-term. Our approach is personal. We bring permanent capital, operational expertise, and respect for the people and culture behind every business we acquire.
A Thoughtful Approach
Our work is rooted in the idea that great businesses aren’t built overnight — and shouldn’t be dismantled in a moment.
We know what it takes to build something that lasts. And we know how difficult it can be to plan what comes next. That’s why we approach every acquisition with patience, humility, and long-term commitment.
Whether you’re navigating succession, exploring retirement, or simply looking for the right partner to take the business forward, Fort York Ventures offers a clear, credible, and caring path to transition.
