Susan Rivett

Susan Rivett is a Portfolio Manager at MMV Financial (also branded MMV Capital Partners), a Toronto-based venture-debt and growth-capital lender founded in 1998 that provides financing to emerging technology and life-sciences companies throughout North America. In her role she is responsible for the overall administration of the firm's loan portfolio, including funding, cash application, and portfolio compliance — the operational backbone of a lending book rather than a front-line deal-sourcing seat.

Before MMV, Susan worked at Maxium Financial (later CWB Maxium Financial), where she held a Manager, Finance Programs role and where a version of her portfolio-manager bio originates ("Prior to joining Maxium…"). Earlier in her career she spent significant time at TD Asset Finance Corp., the lease-financing arm of The Toronto-Dominion Bank. There she held a progression of positions: Manager, Compliance (overseeing documentation and funding for lease transactions); Manager, Credit (responsible for credit analysis and documentation negotiation for corporate clients); and Manager, Business Development (sourcing new transactions through relationships with equipment-leasing companies).

Her career has therefore centered consistently on credit, compliance, and portfolio administration within Canadian equipment-finance and venture-lending institutions. According to her LinkedIn profile she is based in Toronto and studied at Western University. She is not publicly documented as an angel investor deploying her own capital.

• Operates within MMV Financial's mandate: venture loans, bridge financing, and structured/creative debt solutions for growth-stage technology and life-sciences companies that want capital with limited equity dilution.
• Firm targets companies typically past the pure-seed stage — revenue-generating or venture-backed businesses that can service debt.
• Typical financings range from US$1.5M to US$10M, with larger transactions accommodated as needed; MMV has historically run a program of roughly US$400M+ deploying ~US$100M of new investments per year.
• Sector emphasis: enterprise software/applications, enterprise infrastructure, and communications on the tech side; drug-therapy and medical-device companies on the life-sciences side.
• Susan's specific remit is portfolio management — funding, cash application, and compliance — meaning she is a key operational contact for existing borrowers rather than the person who says "yes" to a new deal.
