BDC boosts commitment to inclusive entrepreneurship and invests $250M - Montreal - Canada's Podcast

In this video interview, Sandra Odendahl, Senior Vice President & Head of Sustainability, Diversity & Social Impact at BDC, discusses the challenges Indigenous and Black-led businesses continue to face in Canada and what BDC is doing to help the situation. PRESS RELEASE Montreal, June 19, 2024 – The faces of entrepreneurship are changing. Despite a two-decade decline in the overall entrepreneur population, the number of Indigenous and Black-led businesses is growing, counteracting this trend. To ensure these business creators can thrive, BDC has created a dedicated Inclusive Entrepreneurship team, is launching a $50 million financing and training program, and investing $200 million in Indigenous and Black-led businesses. “Too many underrepresented entrepreneurs continue to face the same barriers that existed a decade, or even a generation ago,” said Isabelle Hudon, President and CEO, BDC. “Despite a lot of positive strides, we just aren't moving quickly enough. It's clear a one-size-fits all approach does not work and, like the entrepreneurs we serve, we must innovate. The initiatives announced today are part of BDC's efforts to drive greater economic impacts and increase productivity.” As a development bank, BDC takes on more risk to help entrepreneurs and grow the economy. The bank identifies market gaps, and partners with others to create solutions that address the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs and that mainstream lenders can use. Using this same innovative approach, BDC is aiming to propel more businesses with three key initiatives. The bank's new Inclusive Entrepreneurship Team leads with an inclusion mindset and puts that intention at the centre of every client experience. They have increased accountability with measurable targets around business development, and entrepreneur training and are already testing regional programs with business centres to better serve entrepreneurs where they are. Recognizing the barriers are highest, and trust is lowest, among the smallest and earliest-stage businesses, their first act was creating a new $50M program that provides loans, plus training, for businesses that are majority-owned by women, Indigenous and Black entrepreneurs and have revenues under $3 million. Lastly, BDC Capital, BDC's investment arm, is creating two new $100M platforms to support Indigenous and Black-led businesses. This will complement the $500M Thrive Platform for Women (launched in 2022) which includes Indigenous and Black women entrepreneurs. The team is currently working to hire key roles from the Black and Indigenous communities and collaborating with them to design and set objectives for the platforms. More details will come later this year. “A critical driver of creating intergenerational wealth for Black communities is equitable support for Black-owned businesses,” said Lise Birikundavyi, Managing Partner, BKR Capital. “With less than 0.5% of venture capital dollars in North America going towards Black entrepreneurs, there is a clear gap to fill. Since we started our fund focused on Black founders, we have seen an incredible amount of quality opportunities, and we believe it is great news to see an organization like BDC join forces to create a more diversified and robust venture capital industry.” These initiatives expand BDC's long-standing support for diverse entrepreneurs. Last year, BDC increased its women and Indigenous clients by 11% and 22% respectively. To date, BDC has committed over $8B dollars to underserved business owners directly through programs like the Indigenous Entrepreneur Loan and Thrive Fund, and indirectly through partners like Futurpreneur, FACE, NACCA, BKR Capital, and Raven Capital. Hundreds of free education resources are also available at bdc.ca. BDC's mission is to support Canadian entrepreneurs to build strong and resilient businesses and, in doing so, contribute to creating a more prosperous, competitive, and inclusive Canada. Its corporate values – United for Entrepreneurs, Powered by People, and Courageously Impactful – are the building blocks of BDC's corporate DNA. These values connect what the organization stands for to how it delivers on its mandate and corporate strategy. Additional Quotes “Indigenous Peoples are among the fastest growing populations in Canada and represent the highest growing segment of entrepreneurs,” said Althea Wishloff (Gitxsan Nation, Fireweed Clan), General Partner, Raven Indigenous Capital Partners. “At Raven, we have learned that taking a platform approach, supporting, and mentoring founders, while providing equity and equity-like capital in a culturally sensitive way is of utmost importance. We look forward to the growth of the ecosystem, new businesses being born and new co-investors emerging.” “Women make up half our population and workforce, yet less than 20% are majority owners in Canadian businesses,” said Marwa Abdou, Senior Research Director, Canadian Chamber of Commerce. “Our most recent report found progress is moving at a glacial pace in entrepreneurship and representation and unless radical changes are made, gender parity is more than a century away. It's great to see organizations like BDC continuing to invest new and innovative approaches like the Thrive Platform which is the world's largest venture fund in the world for women.” About BDC As Canada's bank for entrepreneurs, BDC is a partner of choice for all entrepreneurs looking to access the financing and advice they need to build their businesses and tackle the big challenges of our time. Our investment arm, BDC Capital, offers a wide range of risk capital solutions to help grow the country's most innovative firms.

Raymond Shoolman is a gentle, intuitive, and wise elder statesman of fashion and retail. A veteran executive and consultant in those industries, he helped grow upscale multi-brand menswear retailer Boys'Co to major success alongside the Goldman family for over a decade, before taking an offer at Hugo Boss, where he was a vice president in the Canadian division for 14 years. He's now a sought-after consultant alongside the team at DIG360, as well as a longtime mentor at Futurpreneur.He was born and raised in South Africa to hardworking parents—his father was an immigrant from Belgium who found a career in sales and his mother worked retail at a department store. It was a tenuous time during the apartheid movement of the 1950s, but Raymond and his family managed to live a loving, peaceful life. In the late 1970s, he was offered a job with Sealy and relocated his family to Canada, living in Edmonton before settling in Vancouver. After his chapter in Toronto with Hugo Boss came to a close, he returned to the west coast. In this conversation, we explore the values he learned from his parents that are still very much with him today; what is was like working for a family business versus a major global brand; his people-first approach as a business leader and people manager; if entrepreneurs are born or made; the things he's witnessing in the fashion & retail landscapes right now; the importance of truth when mentoring and consulting; his advice to all entrepreneurs on their journey; what he's most proud of in his decades of living; and much more.

This, and other not-so-obvious trauma, lead to self-sabotaging behaviors, such as not taking care of her hygiene and losing her teeth, and struggling with sex addiction. - It was so difficult for her to find support for her sex addiction, but she never gave up on herself. She began to create her own recovery program hiring a therapist, recovery coach, and implementing a non-negotiable self-care routine. - In the process, she learned so much about trauma, coping mechanisms, and ways that we can support ourselves and overcome the behaviors that are keeping us stuck. Now, she shows up boldly and vulnerably to share her story and hold a safe space for women to feel seen and heard through her experiences. - Ashley Beaudin is a speaker, community gatherer and heart encourager who inspires humans into emotional wholeness, real community and bold leadership.
