The Sinew Impact Fund

Regenerative capital for Indigenous entrepreneurs building the future of the North.

The Sinew Impact Fund reimagines how capital flows to Northern Indigenous entrepreneurs.

Rooted in Indigenous worldviews and designed for long-term community wellbeing, we offer relational, flexible capital that supports entrepreneurs to grow businesses that create social, environmental, and economic impact.

Housed within EntrepreNorth, this fund is a bold step toward economic justice —bridging the gap between capital and community-led solutions.

Community-Led

Decolonial Investment Approach
Our investment process centres relational care and is co-created with the entrepreneurs we serve.

Flexible Capital

Debt and equity capital designed to meet entrepreneurs where they are.

Regenerative Impact

Capital that uplifts land, culture, and economic sovereignty.

Why This Fund Was Created

Northern Indigenous entrepreneurs are driving innovation—yet face significant barriers in accessing capital.

Traditional funding models don’t reflect Indigenous values or realities. They often come with rigid terms, extractive expectations, and a lack of cultural resonance.

The Sinew Impact Fund is built differently. It closes the gap between what Indigenous entrepreneurs need and what capital typically offers—while inviting Indigenous investors to participate in reshaping the system.
