Sorabh Dutta and Parsa Samavati, co-founders of Rumi Capital Partners, met over 14 years ago as classmates at the University of Calgary. Their shared passion for entrepreneurship sparked a lifelong friendship and ultimately led to the creation of their SF. The name “Rumi” is a tribute to their shared cultural heritage and to the renowned poet and scholar, who wrote extensively about self-improvement, open-mindedness, and the relinquishing of ego.
Rumi Capital Partners is backed by a group of experienced institutional and private investors who share their long-term vision, including Sage Capital, Vonzeo Capital, Gestalt Capital, Applied Equity, Reframe Capital, Red Whale Capital, Woodward Capital, Integral Private Wealth, and Parkview Growth Partners.
Sorabh’s entrepreneurial journey began when his family purchased a small fast-food franchise during his university years. Taking on key operational responsibilities, he improved sales and gained firsthand experience in business management. This early success fueled his passion for entrepreneurship, which he has since refined through over eight years in financial advisory and management consulting. He has held key roles at KPMG and EY, specializing in financial reporting, compliance, and operations strategy. Additionally, he co-founded a nonprofit, further honing his leadership and strategic planning skills.
Parsa is a dynamic entrepreneur with a passion for solving complex business challenges and driving growth. His journey began at the age of 19 during an introductory entrepreneurship course, sparking a lifelong dedication to business innovation. His professional experience includes key roles at Toptal, Bain & Company, and PwC Canada, where he specialized in strategic sales, commercial due diligence, and technology advisory. Beyond his corporate experience, Parsa actively mentors Canadian startups, helping them refine their value propositions and execute successful go-to-market strategies.
Rumi Capital Partners is focused on acquiring and scaling an SME in Canada or the United States, with an enterprise value between $10M and $80M. Their industry focus includes inspection, safety & field maintenance, technical B2B services, business process outsourcing, remediation & environmental services, and equipment rentals.
