Projects in Progress

Our family of companies represents unique facets of our values.

We invest in world changing ideas, across the globe

Whether it be technology driven economic development in the Canadian North,
food sustainability, better humanitarian aid, or reduction of corporate grind, our companies are working on solutions for the better world.

We bring our experience to the table for growth

Our principals are serial entrepreneurs with experience from retail commerce to deep tech and from restaurant chain to block chain. We do not have the magic bullet but we can guide you through the dungeons of business scaling full of pitfalls.

We are small, but we are world class

We have successful exits and, honestly, not so successful exits. Regardless, we fight in the front line for our businesses to cross borders and oceans with deliberate actions, and sometimes by paradropping right into them.

Advisory

We have been advising businesses and organisations which are working on global projects, whether it be global expansion, global market entry, cross-border investments or acquisitions.

Real Estate

Our real estate projects focus on community impact. We create inflows of traffic to the neighbourhood around our investment by building unique properties that revitalize the community. We have been successful in completing projects where land prices were stagnant with positive gains throughout the neighbourhoods that we invested in.

Approach

01

We research and analyze the market

For any project, pre-engagement research is key. We have an internal team who are experts in finding the value of a startup or brand that is future-scalable, way before they are investable by larger funds. We do a through analysis of the market that can be attacked by our client

02

We create a strategic plan
for success

We work with entrepreneurs and our partners on a workable strategy for expansion and growth that leverages the seeds that are within reach of our companies and network.

03

We connect the dots and execute the plan

In cases we invest, we take a minority stake, and sometimes bring in partners who can provide additional capital to fuel the planned growth. We execute our expansion strategies.

04

We track, evaluate and evolve

We guide our companies, and we monitor if our strategy requires adjustment or further investment. It is more often than not, both. We stay with the companies usually till they can be self-financing or Series A fundable.
