Philosophy
​
Charleswood grew from an idea of community integration and engagement. Based in Vancouver, Canada, we strive to create pathways for new Canadian investors to connect with the local economy, and assist the entrepreneurs and businesses that make up the grass-roots backbone of our society.
​
As a recent addition to Western Canada's private equity industry, we excel in strengthening established local small to medium-sized private businesses (SMEs) with a system to facilitate founder transition, optimize operation, and foster sustained growth. We bring a value proposition of financial, strategic, and operational expertise to every opportunity.
