Our History

Portage was born out of an ambition to reshape financial services globally.  Co-founders Adam Felesky and Paul Desmarais III launched the platform in 2016 to help fintech and financial services entrepreneurs traverse the challenging terrain from local startup to global scale-up.

Portage’s roots are in the early-stage fintech venture space. Since 2016, we have raised three venture funds and expanded to late-stage fintech and financial services through Portage Capital Solutions in 2022.

Today, we manage $2.5B+ in AUM¹ across three strategies.
