Venture services
GOOD DEEDS MAKE GREAT BUSINESSES
We help entrepreneurs grow their businesses and their social impact with expert advice, mentorship and connections to capital.
Our services are available to ventures that put a social or environmental mission at the core of everything they do. They are built around our flagship SVX platform, which connects socially focused ventures and funds with investors.
For entrepreneurs at the pre-investment stages, we provide the SVX Pre-Flight program of tailored advice, intensive education and access to the tools and resources needed to get your venture ready for investment.
The SVX
Connect with impact investors online
The SVX connects impact ventures and funds to the capital they need to grow. Our full-service platform makes it easy for investors to find high-quality debt and equity opportunities that will push social progress and generate a financial return.
With a user base of both small and accredited investors, the SVX allows ventures to raise capital the way that works for them – whether it’s crowdfunding a few hundred dollars at a time or selling a major equity stake.
Entrepreneur education
Get the skills you need to succeed
We put impact entrepreneurs on the path to realizing their vision with the education and support they need to successfully grow their venture.
SVX Pre-Flight is an intensive eight-week program of workshops, one-to-one advice and mentorship for ventures that have a minimum viable product and business plan established. It draws on the skills and expertise available from the MaRS Discovery District and its partners to prepare ventures for Demo Day: a live pitch event in front of a panel of investors.
Please note: Our services are in addition to other support your venture may be eligible for from MaRS.
