Venturepark Information

Venturepark is the place to create, build, and scale your CPG business. Founded by Canadian Dragon's Den star Arlene Dickinson, our mission is to push the potential of Canadian entrepreneurs. Since 2015, we have delivered non-profit programs in support of Canadian entrepreneurs, including Canada's top accelerator for consumer goods. Our graduates represent some of the fastest-growing companies in Canada and collectively sell over $200M annually. In addition, our incubator kitchen in North York, Ontario, provides manufacturing space to emerging food brands, and our programs support the launch of new product innovation. Collectively, Venturepark helps over 100 early-stage CPG brands a year. Great businesses can change the world, and we're lowering barriers for entrepreneurs to succeed. Over 85% of our program participants identify as a member of an equity-deserving group. Together with our ecosystem partner, District Ventures Capital, we have contributed over $1.6B in economic output and created thousands of jobs. Are you ready to push your potential?
