Policy Recommendations Executive Summary

G overnment support could strengthen Canada’s early-stage ecosystem by focusing on: First is operational support. There is a strong case for supporting the operational costs of angel organizations. Angels contribute their expertise, provide support to entrepreneurs and put governance structures in place. This requires a significant time commitment for which they do not bill their investee companies. In addition,

the investments that angels make contribute to the de- velopment of talent that gets recycled in the ecosystem. Finally, the education, learning and investment tools that both angel organizations and individual angels pro- vide help to create an investment culture. This support is especially important for organizations based outside of urban centres.
