- TetraGen Robotics
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
TetraGen Robotics is building autonomous welding systems that use AI and advanced 3D vision to enable flexible robotic welding in high-mix, variable production environments. The company positions its technology to allow robots to understand and adapt to changing conditions and make real-time decisions rather than follow pre-programmed instructions. TetraGen aims to help manufacturers address skilled labour shortages and automate welding applications that are currently manual due to variability. Following the announced CA$1.8M Seed raise, the company plans to accelerate development and commercialization, grow its team, and expand customer deployments across North America.

- Reusables.com
Participated · Seed · Apr 2025
Reusables.com provides a hardware-enabled SaaS platform and proprietary Smart Return Bins that enable institutional food service operators to scale reusable container programs via a "Tap to Reuse" system. Its Smart Return Bins support 24/7 automated, contamination-free returns and are deployed at more than 34 locations. The company leverages on-site cleaning infrastructure to avoid transportation emissions and offers a no-deposit, free-to-use system for customers. After shifting away from restaurants in 2024, Reusables doubled down on its SaaS offering for institutions and is on track to triple this year to multi‑million‑dollar revenue. Clients reuse over 500,000 containers in two semesters, which the company says avoids over 25 tons of packaging waste and over 100 tons of carbon emissions annually. The new funding will be used to expand enterprise partnerships across North America, grow the team, and enhance its hardware-enabled SaaS to support large-scale foodservice and retail operations. Reusables.com is a tech-enabled zero-waste packaging platform that uses IoT-enabled technology to support circular packaging solutions for food businesses. The company has built a large pipeline of opportunities with food retailers and packaging distributors across North America. It raised $100K in seed funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). Reusables intends to use the funds to scale its IoT platform and help more food businesses transition toward a circular economy for packaging. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Jason Hawkins and is backed by Ryan Holmes and Manny Padda through LOI Venture. Reusables was accepted into the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) to support U.S. expansion and is currently raising a seed round to expand its network in the U.S. and Canada.
