# The Social Venture Exchange **Published by:** [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com/) **Published on:** 2013-09-27 **Categories:** mars-discovery-district, social-venture-exchange, svx, tas, tmx-group, toronto-stock-exchange, uncategorized **URL:** https://brandondonnelly.com/the-social-venture-exchange ## Content MaRS has just launched a Social Venture Exchange (SVX) here in Toronto in collaboration with the TMX Group. And I’m proud to announce that TAS is a founding venture member. Here’s the mission of the SVX: "The SVX is a local, impact first platform connecting impact ventures, funds, and investors in order to catalyze new debt and equity investment capital for local ventures that have demonstrable social and/or environmental impact, including nonprofits, co-operatives, and for-profit corporations." The focus of the SVX Is on triple bottom line accounting. So it’s very well aligned with the philosophy of TAS. However, I like to think of our "four pillars" as a kind of quadruple bottom line framework. In addition to measuring social, environmental and economic impact, we also care about cultural impact. ## Publication Information - [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://brandondonnelly.com/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@brandondonnelly): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/donnelly_b): Follow on Twitter ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://brandondonnelly.com/the-social-venture-exchange): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://brandondonnelly.com/the-social-venture-exchange/collectors): See who has collected this post
