Tell us what you are building. We will tell you how we can help.

Who we back

Startups, small business and social impact.

Startups

Pre-seed to seed-stage companies with a clear wedge, scalable model and founders who can execute. We lead or co-lead rounds and stay close through product, brand and go-to-market.

Small Businesses

Established local businesses ready to professionalize their brand, digitize operations and expand into new markets. We bring capital plus creative and operational support.

Social-Impact Initiatives

Non-profits, co-ops and mission-driven ventures solving real problems in climate, health, education, housing and community economic development. Impact returns matter as much as financial returns.

What we offer

More than a cheque. A growth partnership.

Capital

Cheque sizes from $25K to $500K, deployed as equity, convertible notes or revenue-share structures tailored to stage and risk profile.

Brand & Positioning

Our creative team builds identity, narrative, website and launch assets so the world understands what you do and why it matters.

Go-to-Market

SEO, paid acquisition, content, partnerships and sales enablement designed to turn early traction into repeatable growth.

Operator Support

Weekly office hours, financial modelling, hiring support and introductions to our network of angels, funds and enterprise customers.

Investment criteria

We look for signal, not just potential.

Every application is reviewed by our investment committee. We move quickly, ask direct questions and back founders who are ready to build in public.

  • Clear mission and measurable outcomes
  • Founder-market fit and early evidence of demand
