Founded: 2025Supporting regenerative entrepreneurs in acquiring & growing profitable small businesses.
Regenerative Capital Group (RCG) is a Canadian-based investment firm that invests in purpose-driven impact entrepreneurs, to acquire high potential, growth-stage SME businesses that can support a thriving and regenerative future for people and planet. RCG’s innovative investment model leverages the momentous opportunity created through the ‘Silver Tsunami’ decade of baby-boomer generation SME business owners retiring and without succession plans for their proven and profitable companies (900,000+ in Canada). In addition to 20 years of GP success in SME acquisitions, growth, and exits, the Fund utilizes the incredibly successful ‘Search Fund’ investment vehicle (35% IRR historical returns), and a Regenerative Value Creation strategy that aims to grow the overall health and wealth-building capacities of the stakeholder ecosystems that these proven businesses can reach. RCG creates Net-Positive systems impact by supporting the evolution of a business’ core purpose and value creation strategies to come into alignment with living systems principles and wider nested stakeholder and ecosystem needs, as a non-displaceable source of competitive advantage.
