Our Partners

Canterbury Partners is an informal affiliation of people and organisations intent on catalysing social and environmental change. Unlike other “funds”, we do not seek to raise or manage other peoples’ money but rather draw on an array of like-minded individuals and networks to advance positive change though co-investment and non-financial support. Our Impact Investor Partners include a wide range of successful entrepreneurs, social activists, and angel networks, philanthropists and investment firms that have a focus on social impact and ethical enterprises.

 

Our current partners include:
