Software at altitude. Real estate on the ground.
Good businesses are rare. When we find one — or build one — we don’t flip it. We hold it.
Zapio isn’t a fund. There’s no carry, no LP pressure, no mandate to exit in five years. We invest our own capital, make our own decisions, and take as long as the business deserves.
Quebec — Est. 2018“We’re not managing a portfolio. We’re building something meant to outlast us.”
Zapio is a private holding company. We own software businesses, we build new ones from scratch, and we back founders who are solving problems that actually matter.
The real estate side isn’t glamorous — and that’s the point. It generates reliable cash that lets us be patient on the technology side. Patient is our competitive advantage.
We run from Quebec, we’re small on purpose, and we make decisions fast. No committees. The people you talk to are the ones who decide.
We concentrate on what we understand. Technology is where we spend most of our time. Real estate is where we keep our foundation.
Software, AI, and infrastructure — companies solving real problems for real users, not demos for investors. We like founders who are technical, slightly obsessed, and allergic to corporate theatre. Early stage to growth. We get involved, we stay involved.
Properties that generate cash. Residential and commercial, Quebec-focused. This side of the portfolio is intentionally boring — reliable income that lets us swing bigger on technology without losing sleep.
Not a wall of corporate values. Things we’ve learned by doing it wrong first.
Always looking for interesting businesses to buy — or exceptional founders worth backing.
