Episode 186 | Calgary Social Value Fund, co-founders Tyson Bilton and Laura Foster | 5 October 2020

Student-led innovation and entrepreneurship has moved beyond simply studying what is happening (or has happened) to businesses in the private and public markets. Tyson and Laura shared the origin story of Vancouver-based “National Social Value Fund” — founded by UBC graduate Steve Petterson — which provided them with the inspiration, along with 4 other co-founders, to create the Calgary Social Value Fund.  With an array of activities ranging from recruiting to marketing to investor outreach to managing deal flow to performing due diligence, Tyson, Laura and their team are set to make a real impact on social enterprise in Calgary!  §§§  To learn more about the Calgary Social Value Fund, click on the links below:  Calgary Social Value Fund website | https://nsvf.ca/locations/calgary/  LinkedIn page of Calgary Social Value Fund | https://www.linkedin.com/company/calgary-social-value-fund/  Calgary Social Value Fund on Instagram | @nationalsvf  Calgary Social Value Fund on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Calgary-Social-Value-Fund-122812832610360 Tyson Bilton on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyson-bilton/ Laura Foster on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/fosterlaurac/
