The SAIL Fund
Venture Philanthropy
for Emerging Technology
Your Innovation Ecosystem
The SAIL Fund turns research potential into opportunities with real-world impact, and recycles returns to fund the next wave of innovation so that the successes of the previous generation fuel the attempts of the next.
Success and Failure, Redefined
Venture philanthropy recognizes that early innovation will involve failure. Success is measured over time, across a portfolio of projects, and at the ecosystem level. By using this model, the SAIL Fund helps ensure that Canadians benefit more fully from the research they fund, both today and in the future.
Emerging Technology and the Canadian Taxpayer
Canadian taxpayers should benefit from their contribution to publicly funded research. The SAIL Fund helps ensure that this research has a path to creating impact in Canada, now and in the future.
