About us
We love cool ideas, especially innovative ideas that can make a positive impact on people and make the world a better place.
One idea that has captured our heart and imagination is building a company where making money achieves a worthwhile end beyond financial gain. Such a company is driven by a mission worth pursuing and a triple bottom line of people, profits and planet. Having met some awesome entrepreneurs that run their companies like this, we know this is not just an ideal; it is a real way to build a company that has soul and style. That’s what we want.
Our company is called Cool Companies Incorporated. We believe Canadians seek an entrepreneurial revolution and that Canada’s economic and social future depends it. We would like to be a lighthouse in this change, and we will act as a catalyst to help Canada’s entrepreneurs help each other. To achieve this, we will create innovative tools that help entrepreneurial-minded people discover and create the entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities they’re looking for.
Our first product is a magazine titled Cool Companies launched in November 2004. In late 2006, Cool Companies magazine took the next step its evolution: we declared that Cool Companies magazine is For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs™; this is a promise to be loyal to the voice of the entrepreneur.
In 2007, we continued to execute on our promise by making Cool Companies magazine a peer-to-peer publication, just like a scientific journal. The Chair of its entrepreneur-only Editorial Advisory Committee is Donald Rumball, former Business Editor of The Financial Post and the intraprenueur, founding Editor and Publisher who conceived and started Profit magazine from scratch in 1982.
Expect more innovative business tools from us soon that continue to help entrepreneurial- minded people achieve their goals in new ways—we’re already designing them.
