Back businesses you believe in.
Invest in top Canadian Startups & Small Businesses starting at $100 CAD.
We democratize the private investment landscape.
Until recently, investing in private investments was overly complicated and restricted to only high net worth investors.
Equivesto changes that. Now all Canadians can invest in private businesses, startups, and private real estate opportunities.
We believe in the potential people have when given the means, support, and opportunity. Together, we can create an environment where innovators are not limited by their resources, but only by their courage and imagination.
