SE Impact Ventures
An impact-focused venture capital fund, investing in diverse, early-stage teams that expand access to transformative solutions for living well, aging well and caring well.
Why it matters
50% of Canadians live with at least one chronic disease, nearly half of Canadians over 50 report feeling socially isolated, and 8 million Canadians are caregivers (of which two-thirds are women). Canadians are living longer but we're not living well.
Living Well
Our fund looks for ventures that advance physical and mental wellbeing for all, with a commitment to
equitable access and outcomes.
Aging Well
We back ventures that empower people to maintain dignity, independence, health, and purpose as they
grow older.
Caring Well
We support innovations that enhance the capacity, wellbeing, and recognition of formal and informal
caregivers – improving quality and accessibility of care.
