The thesis

Alberta is materially under-allocated by U.S. capital.

The total addressable market sitting north of the 49th parallel has been growing faster than the institutional infrastructure built to access it. AAEI exists to close that gap with a professional standard American investors already recognize.

~US$260B
Alberta GDP

The fourth-largest provincial economy in Canada and one of the highest GDP-per-capita jurisdictions in North America — a scale large-cap U.S. allocators recognize, per recent Deloitte economic outlooks.

60%+
U.S. share of Canadian VC

American funds consistently supply the majority of late-stage venture dollars deployed into Canadian companies, according to KPMG's Venture Pulse tracking of Canadian VC.

2× growth
Alberta tech sector

Alberta's technology workforce and venture funding have roughly doubled over the past five years, with Calgary repeatedly flagged as one of North America's fastest-growing tech ecosystems in PwC and EY Canadian scale-up reports.

Directional figures synthesized from public Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, and EY Canadian market reporting (2022–2025).

Ecosystem at a glance

Alberta is where North American capital should be looking next.

The Alberta startup base is large, growing, and structurally dependent on American capital flows for scale — the corridor AAEI is built to professionalize.
