YVA cultivates and encourages the private sector investment community in the Yukon
The potential for growing the Yukon’s global-facing business sector is significant. Where the rest of the country has active angel networks learning, growing and investing, the Yukon has incredible opportunities to mobilize economic growth and activity in an accessible, informed way.
WHY Angels? WHY Yukon?
Angel investing is easier than ever, giving people a choice beyond traditional investment avenues (like RRSP’s), and a chance to learn and invest locally and with purpose.
In 2017, Money Sense Magazine rated Whitehorse as having one of (if not the) highest percentage of disposable income per capita in Canada.
- Access to private capital is one of the most important ingredients to diversifying our economy by providing entrepreneurs the capital and mentorship they want and need to be successful.
Other small communities like Campbell River, and relatively remote regions like Northern Ontario have already built successful angel investment communities – and so can we!
