What would happen if people of all genders had equal access to financial knowledge?

The story of Movement51 (M51) begins with our sister company, The51: a Financial Feminist™ platform and venture capital firm where current and aspiring investors (particularly women and gender-diverse individuals), come together to democratize access to capital. 

But the problem is aspiring investors and founders can’t come together to grow, fund, and champion the feminist businesses our world needs most… if they don’t know where to start. As is the case with so many issues rooted in economic and social inequality, the solution: it starts with education.

Founded in 2020, M51 is a non-profit educational platform created to eliminate gender disparity in financial knowledge.

Since our inception, M51 has addressed financial inequalities through innovative educational programs like the Financial Feminism Investing Lab, accessible community events, strategic partnerships with academic institutions like the University of Calgary, and like-minded non-profits, like the Canadian Women’s Foundation. 

With programming that focuses on entrepreneurship and early-stage investing through a feminist lens, M51 is powering the full economic participation of women and gender-diverse people in Canada.
