About

Youth Social Innovation Capital Fund

Youth Social Innovation Capital Fund is an impact investing fund that bridges the gap between young social entrepreneurs and impact investors. The organization provides financing and resources to young entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to tackle complex social challenges, while offering investors opportunities to generate financial returns alongside positive social impact. Operating primarily in Canada, YSICF uses an alternative investment instrument called Revenue Reach—which better aligns the interests of investors and entrepreneurs than traditional debt and equity models. The fund addresses a critical market gap: young social entrepreneurs often lack the established credit history, assets, and business experience required by traditional investment models, while investors increasingly seek to diversify their portfolios with socially impactful ventures.
