Founder of Mark MacLeod

Mark MacLeod has been a trusted advisor to high-growth technology companies since 1999, serving as a CFO, venture capitalist, and deal maker. With experience as CFO for software companies like Shopify and FreshBooks, Mark has witnessed the full spectrum of business outcomes—from failures to successful exits.

As a General Partner at Real Ventures, Canada’s largest seed-stage fund, he played a key role in the firm’s highest IRR returns and largest cash-on-cash gains. Most recently, he founded SurePath Capital Partners, an investment bank specializing in SMB SaaS companies, where he facilitated hundreds of millions in financing and exit transactions.

Mark is also a semi-active angel investor with a portfolio of 22 companies and two successful exits. Outside of work, he is a passionate CrossFit athlete and electronic music producer/DJ, bringing the same commitment and creativity to his personal pursuits.
