What Fit Ventures does

Fit Ventures is a private investment office and family office for David Baazov, headquartered in Montréal, Quebec at 500 Place d'Armes, Suite 1703. The firm deploys proprietary capital across three pillars: private equity in operating companies, direct real estate holdings, and public equities. Its portfolio spans six disclosed operating companies — 5C Data Centers (sustainable data center services), BusPatrol (AI-enabled school bus safety cameras), Shielda (vehicle undercarriage security), Hypertec (hardware and cloud solutions), UVEYE (deep learning vehicle inspection), and Thrio (AI-powered CCaaS) — alongside a real estate portfolio of over 10 million square feet of industrial and office space, more than 5 million square feet of land held for development, and 5,000 residential rental doors. The firm's investment thesis emphasizes supporting "visionary" founders through subsequent fundraising rounds with capital, strategic guidance, and global network access rather than operating a discrete commercial product.

The business model is that of a single-family office: capital is sourced from the founder's personal wealth rather than external limited partners, and returns are generated through a combination of rental income from the real estate portfolio, equity appreciation across operating company holdings, and public market investments. Fit Ventures does not charge management fees, does not offer a commercial SaaS or product, and does not publish revenue or AUM figures. Distribution occurs entirely through direct investment relationships with founders and portfolio companies, accessed via the firm's global network. Recent activity signals continued capital deployment into early-stage technology, including a January 2026 co-led $2.5 million seed round in Titl, a Miami-based PropTech company applying AI and blockchain to property title verification.

Product overview

Fit Ventures is a private investment office and family office for David Baazov. Rather than operating a unified product platform, the company provides investment capital, strategic guidance, and mentorship to portfolio companies across technology, real estate, security, and fintech sectors. The portfolio includes 5C Data Centers (data center services), BusPatrol (AI-enabled school bus safety technology), Shielda (vehicle undercarriage security), Hypertec (hardware and cloud solutions), UVEY (AI-powered vehicle inspection technology), Thrio (AI-powered customer service CCaaS platform), and significant real estate holdings. Fit Ventures does not offer a distinct commercial product or software-as-a-service offering to external customers; its value proposition centers on capital deployment and operational support for portfolio companies.
