What We Do

You’re passionate about creating a meaningful difference. We’re here to help you turn that passion into action. We design and deliver educational programs and experiences to build an inclusive community of investors and support a diverse range of founders to scale their impactful solutions.

In 2022 we launched the Spring Collective, Canada’s Impact Investing Network, providing the deal flow, community and resources accredited investors need to start contributing towards entrepreneurial solutions and scale up their impact-focused investment portfolio.

In 2023 we introduced our early-stage impact fund, Spring Impact Capital. The fund invests in Canadian startup founders to scale innovation in planetary and human health. 

Our Core Values

WE GIVE A DAMN

We care deeply about our team, our community of investors and founders, and our collective ability to make measurable impact toward a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

YOU BELONG

Create spaces that remove barriers, making people feel welcome and safe to participate. Pursue equity for all in a community where people from equity-deserving groups feel supported and empowered.

BE ENTREPRENEURIAL

Take initiative thoughtfully, knowing when to try new things and when to repeat what’s working. Admit to our mistakes, while learning from them and celebrating our successes.

PROVE IT

Impact and financial returns are the measurable results of our purpose in action. Through everything from numerical data to compelling stories, we gather and share the outcomes of our work in a tangible, demonstrable way that empowers others to track their own impact.

ALWAYS IMPROVING

Embrace a growth mindset. Pursue excellence by growing through the iterative learning opportunities provided by your customers’ feedback.

Spring is a B Corp

B Corporations (B Corps) are a type of for-profit businesses that prioritize social and environmental responsibility alongside financial success.

Certified by the nonprofit organization B Lab, B Corps voluntarily meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. These companies commit to using their business as a force for good, considering the impact of their decisions on various stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities and the environment. B Corps represent a growing global movement of businesses that aim to balance purpose and profit to create a more sustainable and inclusive economy. 

Spring’s registration as a B Corp underscores its commitment to ethical business practices and positive contributions to society.

Putting Our Money Where Our Heart Is

1% for the Planet is an international organization founded on the idea that a company has a responsibility to give back for use of our planet’s resources. 

It does this through certifying members who contribute a minimum of 1% of their revenue to environmental partners to tackle climate change, pollution, deforestation and more. This commitment can also include volunteer hours and marketing support for environmental partners.
