Where are we now? At the writing of this report, there were no formal Angel Groups or NACO members in Yukon. We know that the Yukon angel investment ecosystem is currently fragmented and not-well organized and that early-stage companies often go unfunded, remain under-capitalized and never reach their full potential. Where are we heading? We envision a future where all entrepreneurs across Yukon are able to access the capital and mentorship they need to launch and grow their companies, creating jobs and economic prosperity. A diverse and active angel community can stimulate economic development through increased private investment capital into early- stage Yukon companies to help them start, scale, and succeed. On thesupply side, improving theflowof investment capital, investment education, and management expertise into high-growth-potential companies will increase both the number of investors empowered to invest in Yukon entrepreneurs, in addition to the amount of capital available for investment. On the demand side, the focus is on those who want to start and grow businesses that create prosperity and improve lives in their communities.
