The Northover Solution

NCI is an innovative, strategic capital entity purpose-built to be publicly traded as an investment issuer on the CSE. We target debt and equity in private, high-growth companies, providing liquidity and returns in challenging markets.

Market Dilemmas:

Private Markets

Investors wait 9-12 years for liquidity
Startup financing is at its lowest since 2017 and is on track to be 21% lower in 2025 than 2024
Lower valuation multiples deliver diminished returns
Higher overall costs of capital are driving investors toward lower-risk alternatives

Public Markets

85% of new listings are index funds/ETFs, not operating companies
CSE & TSX lost over 40 listings in 2024
Companies with <$10M revenue find listing costs prohibitive

Key Insight: Both investor pools seek early liquidity and high-quality opportunities. Pooling deals into a publicly traded entity mitigates risk, enables stock-based dividends for returns, and allows flexible entry/exit.

Sectors of Focus:

Energy, agriculture, industrials, technology (including AI), materials, real estate and defense; excludes controlled substances, cryptocurrencies, mining and forestry.

Deal Flow:

Sourced from global angel networks (e.g., Canadian angels, Level 39 UK, European Business Angels, US Angel Capital Association), one source alone reviews ~300 deals/month.

Screening Process:

Rigorous four-stage evaluation: eligibility (compliance/geography), macro (sector outlook/SPRITE analysis), company (financials/leadership), and investment (terms/governance).
