Social Capital Partners

Since 2001, Social Capital Partners has been incubating and investing in ideas that expand economic opportunity in Canada. Along the way, we’ve had both wins and setbacks. We’ve scaled social enterprises, invested in community infrastructure and social finance, piloted community loan programs and worked with employers to attract and upskill employees. In the last five years, we’ve zeroed in on one big idea: pushing for policies to help employees become owners of the businesses they work for. With our expert and diverse network, we successfully secured the introduction of Employee Ownership Trusts to Canada—unlocking wealth, financial security and economic resilience for workers and communities. Now, we’re taking on a bigger challenge: the concentration of economic and political power. Extreme wealth inequality undermines economic resilience and social stability, and we’re here to change that. It’s the natural next step in our mission to build an economy where more people are owners and have agency over their economic future.
