Aniket Patel

I’m an early-stage VC in Toronto. I sit at the Venn diagram intersection of analyst, networker, and operator to help founders succeed.

Roles

Winter 2025 - Present	I’m on the founding team at a new venture fund in the works…
2020 - Fall 2024	I was a Partner at Extreme Venture Partners. I spent half my time doing typical analyst work, and the other half as an operator for our portfolio companies across business operations, marketing, sales, UI/UX design, fundraising, and everything else. Mentored by a great VC and Bay Street analyst, Ray Sharma.
2015 - 2018	Interned at companies like Transpose Platform in San Francisco and got to meet VCs like Hustle Fund and Blume Ventures. Bachelor of Accounting and Finance from the University of Waterloo.

Sunday Drive: I founded a driving routes app and worked with brands like Ferrari and Hagerty for customer events. I got featured in a magazine and I’m known as “the Sunday Drive guy!” at car events.
Full Send Events: I organize tech events at the intersection of work and play. This past July I hosted a “Tech Founders x Investors Car Meet” that was sponsored by Lucid Motors.
Lots of failed projects turned into learning lessons: a South Asian-focused therapy platform, a next-gen habit tracker, and more.

I do some amateur photography with my Sony A7C, Fuji X100V and Nikon FE.
I help amateur racing drivers with pro-bono marketing—watch out for Cayden Goodridge and Christian Menezes.
