Movement 51

The story of Movement51 (M51-begins with its sister company, The51: a Financial Feminist™ platform and venture capital firm where current and aspiring investors (particularly women* and gender-diverse* individuals), come together to democratize access to capital for women and gender-diverse founders. As The51’s primary focus became feminist venture capital opportunities, Movement51 was founded as a non-profit arm, built to power the full and equal economic participation of women and gender-diverse people in the areas of entrepreneurship, investing and all things financial education and confidence. Since its inception, M51 has addressed financial inequalities through innovative educational programs like the Financial Feminism Investing Lab, community events, strategic partnerships with academic institutions like the University of Calgary, and like-minded non-profits, like the Canadian Women’s Foundation.
