Everything You Need to Scale Growth

The Red Leaf Accelerator is run by Red Leaf Capital, one of the few organizations designated for the Canada Startup Visa venture capital fund. We operate the Red Leaf Accelerator to provide value creation services for our existing portfolio companies, to support our search for quality investment opportunities for our fund and to expand our global network of Canada Startup Visa program companies.

Every start-up will have the opportunity to reserve a one-on-one meeting with our partners to address specific needs and problems encountered by the company or to discuss topics of further interest to the entrepreneurs.

Grow fast alone and grow further together. During the program, we lead business workshops where you will gain specific skills and knowledge from our Subject Matter Experts to apply to your growing business. Topics span from market strategy, customer acquisition, scalability and finance, to global supply chain and business valuation.

Led by our partners Stuart Henrickson and Shane Li, who bring more than 40 years of domestic and international venture capital, corporate and investment banking experience, Red Leaf Capital has built an extensive global business network to support entrepreneurs.

Red Leaf Accelerator is sector agnostic and will consider start-up businesses from any industry.
