Congrats to our portco Gotcare on this big milestone! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #bcorp B Lab Chenny Xia
Big news! Gotcare is officially a B Corp 🌍 Since day one, our mission has been to use business as a force for good. Our patients get a care worker who speaks their language, remembers their coffee preference, and lives right in their communities; much more than just hygiene and medication assistance. We work directly with hospitals and communities to cocreate strategies that improve quality of life and create capacity. As a certified Living Wage employer, our care workers are taken care of too. Thank you so much to all our partners, care workers, and community. This is a huge milestone, and it’s all because of your hard work, compassion, and dedication to helping those who need it! #bcorp B Lab

Female founders haven’t seen the same pullback in venture capital funding that men have since the pandemic… …because women didn’t have the funding in the first place. Women receive just 4% of Canadian VC funding, despite making up 37% of the self-employed population and 18.4% of majority owners.* And yet it’s been proven that companies with more female representation continually outperform those that are less diverse. Gender diversity isn’t just a social issue — it’s a performance issue. Diverse representation leads to more diverse ideas, perspectives, solutions, and innovations. If ambitious organizations want to outpace their competitors and dominate the market, diversity can bring the competitive edge they need to pinpoint outlying opportunities.

Some of our core beliefs about business: Fundamentals come first. Becoming capital-efficient and profit-aware promotes fiscal health and mobilizes organizations to outpace their peers. Complex problems are best solved with diverse ideas, perspectives, solutions, and innovations. Diversity helps us identify the outliers that give us an edge. Performance and purpose aren’t mutually exclusive. We believe organizations can be impressively profitable while making a positive impact on their customers and communities.
