Northpine Foundation

The Northpine Foundation invests risk capital to achieve scalable outcomes for selected underserved and underinvested communities in Canada. 

They offer financial and non-financial supports, expertise and networks to explore unmet opportunities, understand alignment, and design ventures together that build relationships to create a healthy and thriving Canada. They allocate catalytic capital in the form of investments and philanthropy. 

The SVX team was engaged to provide market testing in priority portfolio areas and to support general strategy development as they ramped up their operations. We completed a market scan of potential investments to assess market potential, identify gaps in the market, refine OKRs, and develop recommendations in each of the priority portfolio areas.  We also made recommendations on general strategy and associated resource allocation including capacity building, intermediary infrastructure and innovative financing.
