About Josh Felker
Josh Felker is a co-founder of BoxOne Ventures, a Montreal early-stage investment firm that backs companies in biotechnology, the future of food, longevity, markets, intelligence and clean energy, and that invests its own capital rather than outside limited partner money. Felker co-founded BoxOne in 2010 with Arvind Ramanathan, five years after the two launched Vigilant Global, a Montreal proprietary trading firm started in 2005 that grew into one of the city's most successful trading firms before it was acquired by DRW. The BoxOne name comes from a term the pair used at Vigilant to describe being first to invest, and the firm's family-office structure lets it move faster than fund-cycle investors, take early and risky bets, and hold positions from napkin stage to IPO. BoxOne's Montreal bets include Dispersa, Opalia and Sollum, and its wider portfolio spans biotechnology, agriculture, food technology and prediction markets.
