About us
A mission driven family office contributing to a toxic-free planet with humanity living synergistically with each other, the earth, her creatures and spirit. Dragonfly Ventures achieves this goal through investments (public and private), philanthropy and collaborations with a focus on four interrelated areas that we feel are ripe for intervention and in which we can play an active role: toxic elimination, freshwater conservation, climate resilience, and land and soil health. We approach our work from a set of shared values including diversity, equity, disruption, intuition, learning, and collaboration. Our family office includes both in house staff and advisors. Our in house team includes two Co-CEOs, a CFO and an Executive Assistant. Our team of advisors includes expertise in investments, tax, legal and coaching. We use a diverse suite of financial tools to achieve our mission, investing across all asset classes as well as philanthropy. Below is an example of some of our investments. Public equity: Genus Capital Management Venture Capital Funds: Renewal Funds Safer Made Arc Tern Ventures Bonds: Solar Share Private: National Observer Ananda Devices Our philanthropy is done through a donor advised fund at Tides Canada.

A beautiful example of what's possible for a company as important as Aisle to live on and continue to be a leader in menstrual health and equity. Thanks Madeleine Shaw, Suzanne Siemens and Lux Perry for your leadership and courage. We're honoured to be a part of this journey.
As you may have heard last week, Aisle has been acquired by Vancouver-based period pain startup somedays founder Lux Perry. Lux will be taking the reins as CEO, while Suzanne Siemens transitions to COO and Madeleine Shaw becomes Chief Impact Officer. Enjoy this post that celebrates Lunapads and Aisle's remarkable history and groundbreaking role in the menstrual health and equity space. The acquisition honours Aisle’s legacy in the reusable period care space and our dedication to period equity advocacy, which has guided the brand for over three decades. As the top-ranked #bcorp period care company in the world we are proud to be the original period underwear brand founded in 1993. Together, Somedays and Aisle will yield North America's most comprehensive range of period care products. We look forward to exploring and introducing innovative new products to create a vibrant and promising future for menstrual health. Have Lunapads or Aisle made a difference in your life? Please share your stories about our products and leadership in the comments.

The link below is a new episode of Water Brothers, sharing the many challenges associated with PFAs and ways to avoid them, including a feature of one of our companies FireRein, and what they're doing to provide a safe alternative to PFAS-laden fire fighting foams. Cofounders Zackary Hodgen and Quincy Emmons saw the need to improve the industry with a safe product for both the environment and those fighting fires. https://lnkd.in/g6dS_SJa

Our Co-CEO Wendy Cooper was recently in the UK to complete the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford's Impact Finance Innovations programme. We're excited to apply all that she learned from the course to help us bring creativity to how we centre impact in our work!
I'm recently back from a full and expanding week at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford where I had the privilege of spending 5 days with an incredible group of global peers, led by Aunnie Patton Power, to dig deep into an expansive set of tools to support innovations around impact finance. I'm excited to apply all that I learned to support our work at Dragonfly Ventures in centring social and environmental well-being in all that we do. Thank you to Aunnie Patton Power, Chintan Panchal, Karim Harji, all the instructors and organizers, and my fellow students for an inspiring and energizing week. And shout out to Laurie Felker Jones for sharing a couple of her great pics!
