Impact Investment Funds in Canada

DIAF IV is a Canadian registered gender lens mezzanine impact fund that offers flexible alternatives to traditional debt or equity instruments by designing financing solutions that are non-dilutive and founder-friendly. The Fund will invest in profitable, growth-stage enterprises with proven impact models and a commitment to gender equality throughout Latin America and the Caribbean (ex-Brazil).
The Fund is seeking aggregate equity commitments totaling US$100 million to invest in 18 to 24 impact enterprises via tailored debt structures ranging from Revenue-Based Financing (“RBF”) to subordinated loans with or without equity kickers. Given Deetken Impact's pioneering role as a gender lens investor, its proprietary gender lens investing framework will be applied to assess and advance portfolio companies’ gender business practices.
