Why
We aspire to improve health through Canadian-led innovation.
Innovation is built upon a founder’s vision of how to make the world a better place by solving a really big problem. Building alignment around that vision is critical to a new venture’s success. Identifying a funding partner who believes in your vision as strongly as you do and can help you achieve it is one of the most impactful decisions in your entrepreneurial journey. Raising dilutive capital from external investors will mark the beginning of a long-term relationship that can last more than a decade. In our experiences, company building is not all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. Startup journeys are filled with challenges, setbacks, and struggles. Finding the right investor who is going to support you through good times and bad is crucial.
