Quebec probably has the single best cooperative financing ecosystem in the world (1B+$). There’s a need for more risk-driven investment instruments in the sector however to seed early stage ventures. Most of the funds end up getting reinvested in existing cooperatives who can already access traditional funding.

What do you mean by trad funding? Loans? Bonds? Equity investments?

Mainly debt instruments (loans, lines of credit, etc.) and occasionally preferred shares.
