Investor Network (CANDIN)

In partnership with ONE9, we have founded and co-chair the Canadian Defence Investor Network (CANDIN) — Canada’s first and only private capital network focused on defence and security.

Modelled after such groups in the US, Australia, and AUKUS, the invite-only network unites investors, strategic partners, and dual-use tech builders, driving collaboration to build sovereign capabilities.

The goal of CANDIN is simple but ambitious:

Connect like-minded investors and strategic partners committed to building sovereign capabilities in Canada and across allied nations
Educate and inform capital providers about the opportunities and imperatives in defence and dual-use investing
Collaborate to unlock private capital and bridge gaps between innovators, end-users, and policymakers
