An index of Indigenous businesses ready to scale, or franchise.
One public company. Many independently operated businesses. Shared ownership in the value the whole portfolio creates.
Other economies scale through licensing, franchising, and shared platforms. Indigenous economies can too.
Businesses built in one community, made available to all of them.
INDY creates, acquires, and scales Indigenous-owned businesses, then holds a position in each one. Every participating business, and its Indigenous owners, receives a stake in the public INDY parent. Success in one venture strengthens the whole index, so communities cooperate instead of compete.
Equity and royalty
Businesses that compound in value as they grow across Nations. INDY holds equity and shares in recurring revenue, and the position appreciates as the network deepens.
Replicable units
Proven models that multiply community to community. INDY licenses the brand and know-how, and earns as the network of units grows, with royalties flowing back to the originating community.
From a single business to a public platform.
Originate
INDY creates or acquires an Indigenous-controlled business with a proven unit economic and assembles its ownership and management.
Build the capital stack
Equity, government grants, Indigenous lender financing, vendor and customer capital, combined into one clean, financeable structure.
Share it publicly
INDY is a public company, so every constituent participates in one traded vehicle rather than being trapped in a single community.
License across Nations
Proven models are scaled or franchised community to community, and licensing revenue flows back to the community that built it.
Scale to 100
Public shares become the currency to add the next business, and the next, filling the index toward one hundred constituents.
What earns a place in the index.
The INDY 100 is a standard, not a list. A business qualifies when it meets four tests.
Indigenous led or controlled.
A proven unit economic. The model works once before it is repeated.
INDY holds a position: equity, royalty, or franchise rights.
A clear path to scale across Nations or franchise community to community.
One platform, aligned for everyone who builds it.
Founders
Keep operating control, receive project financing and shares in the public parent, and license your model to earn royalties.
Nations
Permanent participation in a diversified platform, and access to proven models without building everything from scratch.
Lenders
A pipeline of investment-ready borrowers with stronger equity, lower origination cost, and a repeatable underwriting template.
Investors
A diversified Indigenous development platform with professional governance and liquid public shares.
Government
Grants, equity, debt, and licensing combined into permanent economic infrastructure for Indigenous communities.
Four Nationally Scalable Businesses To Start
Four nationally scalable businesses. The road to 100 starts with four businesses with national growth trajectories in fish aqua farms, indigenous digital health screening, food security & nutrition and digital infrastructure.

Its technology reduces pressure on wild stocks and sensitive marine ecosystems while creating year-round food production, jobs and regional food security for communities and Nations.
Health Town

The foundation is being assembled
INDY100 is securing the first businesses and assets that will anchor the index across health, food, infrastructure, technology and community development.
Built for public ownership
The public company creates a way to invest in the growth of a diversified portfolio of Indigenous-led businesses contributing to Canada's economic strength.
Forging partnerships across Canada
INDY100 brings together Nations, industry, lenders, governments and strategic partners to build businesses and infrastructure with the scale to grow nationally.
One platform. Many businesses.
Each constituent operates in its own market while gaining access to capital, partnerships and opportunities to scale.
Infrastructure that creates opportunity
INDY100 invests in businesses and assets that strengthen communities, expand essential services and build productive capacity for Canada.
Indigenous control stays at the centre
As the platform grows across British Columbia first and then Canada, the goal is enduring Indigenous ownership, stronger local economies and long-term national value.
