Our Why
Our Mission
Doing good and delivering results.
Stellar Results + Massive Social Impact
We believe that a Venture Capital (VC) fund can invest in incredible companies that can scale massively and yield great returns as well as deliver a measurable, scalable, and meaningful social impact.
Pairing on Mission and Values
Capital is plentiful and amazing entrepreneurs are everywhere. Our goal is to find mission and value oriented limited partners and pair them with entrepreneurs who share similar values and goals. When these are aligned, expect a magical impact!
Our Thesis
In Summary, we will invest between $25,000 and $200,000 CAD in companies that are at the pre-seed or seed level and can demonstrate both a financial and social impact return to its shareholders. We have the ability to make follow on investments and can act fast!
