Services for Issuers
We work with a range of non-profit organizations and for-profit enterprises and organizations from community power co-operatives producing renewable energy to charitable organizations tackling mental health and addictions. We seek to provide a continuum of supports from one-to-many educational offerings to one-on-one advisory supports to capital through our network of impact investing funds.
Bootcamps
SVX seeks to build capacity for impact ventures and organizations through hands-on education through cohort-based bootcamp programs. We deliver these bootcamps on an ongoing basis on a sector or regional basis, often in collaboration with partners across Canada, supported by high quality content, coaches, and peers to maximize the impact of the bootcamp experience.
WOSEN
WOSEN START for Eastern Ontario is designed for women and gender diverse entrepreneurs who are exploring social enterprise as a model to launch a product or service that generates community benefit. By the end of the program participants will have a deeper understanding of social enterprise, a refined concept for their venture and will have developed transferrable skills and an action plan to help them with their next steps. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet with experienced coaches who will help them continue their social entrepreneurship journey.
