This year’s report analyzes Canadian angel investment totaling $262.1 million, a record recovery from 2020’s pandemic low of $102.9 million.
For the first time in our history, we’re leveraging our international platform to spotlight the achievements of 27 women trailblazers. These leaders are at the forefront of Canada’s innovation economy. Together, we are working to transform inertia into action, barriers into opportunities and gaps into indicators of how much more is possible.
This year‘s report is an in-depth, data-driven analysis that highlights persistent regional inequities. This is not just academic. It is a lived, day-to-day experience for Canada’s entrepreneurs. This is especially true for those that face systemic barriers and limited local pathways to mentorship and funding networks.
In these uncertain times, the economic and social imperative to take bold action cannot be overstated.

However, change is coming. In communities across the country, innovation leaders are putting in place the building blocks needed to support entrepreneurs within emerging provincial and territorial ecosystems. Together we are creating a more collaborative, nationally accessible entrepreneurial economy.
As NACO celebrates its 20th anniversary, we strive to build a future that is better than the past. On the ground in local communities across the country, our members are helping us drive progress across Canada’s innovation ecosystem. By leveraging our national platform and network of early-stage investors, along with our country’s most prominent business incubators and accelerators, we can push Canada‘s innovation ecosystem to the next level.
In shining a national spotlight on the incredible leaders featured throughout this report, we aspire to motivate additional widespread change that transforms inertia into action, barriers into opportunities and gaps into indicators of how much more is possible.
