Summerhill Venture Partners is a venture capital firm managing $175 million with offices in Toronto, Ottawa and Boston. Summerhill Venture Partners has built a track record of investing in and developing some of North America’s most successful emerging growth companies in the areas of communications, digital media and information technology.

Summerhill Venture Partners is affiliated with the Bell Canada group of companies, which includes some of Canada’s most respected high-tech and media companies such as Bell Canada, Canada’s largest incumbent communications service provider, Bell ExpressVu, Canada's largest direct-to-home satellite television provider, and Bell Mobility, one of Canada’s leading mobile communications providers.

Summerhill Venture Partners’ unique relationship with Bell Canada allows us to leverage the resources and network of Canada’s largest communications company as well as relationships Bell Canada has with other carriers and technology companies worldwide.  We have well-developed relationships with leading service providers, technology providers and “thought leaders” throughout the world - a growing eco-system of key technology partners, early adopter customers and potential market channel partners. We have worked hard to develop and maintain a global network of individuals that have become increasingly helpful to us in making more informed investment decisions and creating shareholder value. Leveraging the BCE family of companies has proven to be an effective means to continue to build our keiretsu and facilitate important relationships for our portfolio companies. There are few technology companies and service providers in our chosen investment sector that we cannot get an introduction to through BCE to help facilitate a relationship for our portfolio companies.

Summerhill Venture Partners has a significant proprietary advantage that gives us access to top-quality deal flow, enhances our due diligence capabilities, and positions us to add significant value to our investees. This differentiation stems from:

1. Our knowledgeable, disciplined investment team and investment philosophy advocate an active, corporate development mentality to value creation;
2. Our strong long standing relationships inside the BCE family; and,
3. Our unique ability (in part through BCE) to gain access to and build personal relationships with the key thought leaders and leading technology companies in our ecosystem.

We will only invest in companies where we can leverage our strengths:

• Where we have a thorough knowledge of the market opportunity and dynamics;
• Where our extensive contacts within BCE and our keiretsu of potential partners, suppliers and customers can add value in due diligence and help create shareholder value; and
• Where we can participate in creating value through active deal management.
