NACO launches programming in Alberta as part of latest push into province
The National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) has launched its programming, focused on increasing access to capital opportunities for entrepreneurs, in the province of Alberta.
The initiative, called Pathways to Capital, represents NACO’s latest push into the province’s startup ecosystem, which has undergone many changes over the last few years.
“The Pathways platform we have created is one that can be replicated in other regions across the country.”
Pathways to Capital is supported by a $500,000 federal government investment, as well as an investment of $100,000 from the Alberta government. Though NACO’s initial focus will be to offer Pathways to Capital in Alberta, it plans for the initiative to be national in the coming months.

Aoife McBride didn’t lick her fashion and drapery skills off the stones. Her mother, Mary, opened her MacBees boutique in Killarney, Co Kerry, in 1984, but before that, Mary’s parents had been running Crowley’s drapers in Killorglin since 1907.
That’s 114 years of a fashion baton being passed on from mother to daughter and on again. As the third generation coming through the business, Aoife acknowledges her mother’s influence.
“Mum is always impeccably turned out and I love the idea that you get dressed up because you love clothes, no matter what day it is or who you’re going to meet. I remember her coming to pick us up at school. She had her Louise Kennedy power suits in the 80s and beautiful pieces from John Rocha in the 90s and they were always worn with heels even her wellies had heels!”
