Investing in Canadian innovation. Empowering entrepreneurs. Building and scaling companies - whether we invest or simply help them grow. Creating lasting value.
At Strong Ventures, our mission is to help visionary founders and established businesses grow with purpose in an era of constant change. We partner with companies to build, scale, and transform technology ventures through a powerful combination of strategic insight, operational excellence, and hands-on execution.
We believe growth comes from embracing innovation — not resisting it. By harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging technologies, we guide our partners to adapt faster, think bolder, and lead markets rather than follow them.
Through consulting, investment, and collaborative leadership, Strong Ventures empowers organizations to overcome barriers, achieve sustainable revenue growth, and create lasting impact in a rapidly evolving world.

As Founder and Managing Partner of Strong Ventures, Patrick has launched and led multiple companies to significant growth — including one that achieved seven-figure monthly revenues, secured seven-figure government contracts, and completed an eight-figure exit.

His experience blends industrial design, technical innovation, and market execution, giving him a rare ability to turn complex ideas into commercial success stories.
Patrick also provides consulting and advisory support to businesses seeking to strengthen their sales, marketing, positioning, strategy, barriers to entry, revenue acceleration, and diversification — or address broader strategic challenges such as go-to-market planning, product-market fit, and organizational scaling.
A passionate believer in the transformative power of artificial intelligence, Patrick sees AI not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and human potential.
