We design, fund and nurture prosperous and lasting economies for Calgary, and beyond.
"We need a step change to move our economy forward."
JAMES LOCHRIE
MANAGING PARTNER
We're a group of veteran entrepreneurs, design thinkers and investors. We’re taking a bold approach to activate economic development in Calgary, from the ground up.
WE'VE GOT SKIN IN THE GAME
Starting in our own backyard.
With significant capital we will invest in, build, and fortify ventures in key industries that will have a massive impact on the sustainability of our city.
​
How, exactly? By launching a fund and developing the infrastructure we need within a cluster framework. This model will support our entrepreneurs and ventures from ideation to commercialization in multiple industries including gaming, healthcare, smart cities and education.
"We're preparing for what's next by finding new ways, not new things."
JIM GIBSON
PARTNER
We're both a hub, and a magnet. We attract and seek out unlike minds to transform and recombine. It's how we can find new solutions for old problems.
WHERE THERE'S A WAY, THERE'S A WILL
Facing impossible challenges, head on.
With outdated economic engines and a reliance on old industries, our cities and communities are lagging behind in the global economy.
We foster the ideas, people and ventures necessary to develop and build new solutions. By making new paths and breaking old silos, we're linking industries and setting up entrepreneurs for success.
