2020 Social Impact Program
The Startup Canada Social Impact Program, in partnership with the Economic and Social Development Canada’s Investment Readiness Program (IRP), supports social entrepreneurs with access to training, mentorship, funding and resources to scale-up social and environmental impact.
According to the 2020 Startup Canada Census, more than 40% of entrepreneurs are impact-driven and are interested in advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Startup Canada Social Impact Program aims to connect impact-driven entrepreneurs with the tools to grow their triple-bottom-line.
