Yanitsky joins Gresham House Ventures with over 14 years of growth equity, private equity and corporate finance experience. In his new role, Yanitsky will focus on originating and executing new investments in high-growth technology businesses, a key area of focus for Gresham House Ventures.
Prior to joining Gresham House Ventures, Yanitsky was a General Partner of PROPELR Growth, a Toronto-based growth equity fund. In this role, he served on the boards of several privately traded and listed Canadian businesses including Field Effect Software and Tribe Property Technologies.

He holds an MBA from INSEAD and an HBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario.
The appointment comes during a busy period of expansion for Gresham House Ventures and follows two other senior hires so far this year. The firm hired Marieke Christmann as a Portfolio Director in February, following the appointment of Rohit Mathur as an Investment Partner in January.
Gresham House Ventures has also been active in terms of deal flow, having recently led investments in accessibility audit and data platform Mobility Mojo and adventure travel scale-up Much Better Adventures.
