"The SVZ gave us the long runway we needed to launch a social venture in our industry. Nothing happens overnight, certainly in large infrastructure, so we are grateful to have been able to stay as long as we did to build up our scale. We are proud to say that through our time at the SVZ, we were able to build the largest production facility in Nunavut, and secure 3+ years of funding to roll out our business."
