A Message from the CEO
At Glooscap Ventures, we believe every project should make our community stronger than it was yesterday. Our work is rooted in Mi’kmaw values — collaboration, respect, and long-term prosperity — and guided by the belief that economic success and community well-being go hand in hand.
We’re proud to lead investments that create opportunity, build partnerships, and showcase what Indigenous-led development can achieve when vision meets action.
— Michael
