About Us

Our Mission

The Canadian Angel Investment Foundation, founded in 2019, is a not-for-profit organization, aiming to support the next generation of startups and investors. While providing programs that can help startup companies reach the next level, we also aim to foster the next generation of investors through education and opportunities sharing.

Since our inception, we emphasized on educating the next generation of investors and startup companies.  To further support our mission, in 2021, we introduced three programs – loan financing, grants and investor inner circle.  These programs enable companies access to funds without giving up equity which includes Canadian government grants and non-dilutive financing supported by investors.  Investor Inner Circle is a sharing platform for prescreened investment opportunities which are loan-focus.

We love to hear from you!!
