Coralus’ 2023 U.S. Ventures

Posted March 31, 2023

Coralus (formerly SheEO) has announced their newest cohort of US Ventures!

Founded in Canada by Vicki Saunders, Coralus started its model to support female-identifying entrepreneurs in Canada in 2015 and within 4 years had expanded its program into the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. The model involves female-identifying individuals (“Activators”) contributing to a fund that is loaned out, interest-free, to local, women-led ventures with a social good mission.

Since Coralus launched its program in the U.S., PVF has been its designated fund partner, holding the fund, receiving contributions from Activators, loaning out to the Ventures selected each year, and processing loan repayments.
