For Investors

Invest in PURPOSE

We believe there is a massive opportunity to generate attractive returns and positive change by investing in early-stage Canadian businesses. We focus on companies with values-driven, diverse leadership seeking to scale solutions where profitability is aligned with a positive influence on people or the planet.

Many structural tailwinds are creating dynamic impact investment opportunities in climate and health. We aim to fill the gap of pre-seed and seed funding for these companies in Canada and invite you to join us.
