Ventures at Coralus

Everywhere you look, the business world screams: scale up, go big, grow, grow, grow.

Ventures at Coralus

At Coralus, we believe success is so much more than just size. It’s about impact, about being in alignment with your values, and about reimagining what’s possible. We’re not here to ask, “How will you scale?” or "How will you create stakeholder value through further extraction?"

We're here to ask, "What kind of world are you creating?"

We work with the bold, the creative, and the visionary—people ready to break away from the outdated playbook. The future we’re building together requires new systems rooted in reciprocity, support, and a deep commitment to the well-being of people and the planet.

This isn’t only about transforming your business—it’s about transforming you. At Coralus, we believe that true change begins within. Shifting systems starts with shifting ourselves, and we create the space for you to explore that. You won’t walk this path alone. You’ll be surrounded by a community of radically generous people, practicing new ways of being, open and curious to unconventional approaches, and who are cheering you on.

Here, you’ll experience what it means to give and receive, to contribute to an ecosystem of change that flows naturally. This is the space where transformation happens—where you find your people, share your gifts, and receive the support you need to step into the world you’re here to create.

A Community of Transformation

The Venture Experience

At Coralus, we offer you more than guidance—we offer you a mirror to reflect the power already inside you. Your journey will be supported by someone who not only has the strategic insights to help your venture thrive but also understands the importance of personal growth. This is our gift to you for the courageous work you’re doing to make the world a better place.

But the real gift? It’s the community. A rich network of people who’ve walked similar paths, people who will support you, challenge you, and inspire you to keep going. It’s up to you to reach out, ask for what you need, and offer your own wisdom in return.

Like coral adapting to its environment, you’ll find those here who have learned to thrive in these challenging times—and in reciprocity, you’ll do the same for others. Together, we create a ripple of transformation.

We're living in a time of profound change and Coralus is standing here at the forefront with an unflinching gaze, supporting Ventures that are building the models and solutions for a new world. We're not just reducing harm; we're creating entirely new systems that heal, restore, and embolden.

The Bigger Picture

Reducing Harm

Coralus Venture, Better Packaging started by reducing plastic waste with compostable courier packaging

When they saw the plastic problem escalating, they went deeper - transforming their entire business model to use plastic pollution as raw material, seeding a plastic clean-up economy

Getting to the Root

They also employ people at the front line of the communities impacted to create this Pollastic™. That's what we mean by creating new systems through regenerative solutions that heal people and planet.

Creating New Systems

Here's what we mean by supporting systems transformation

"We felt like we were still adding to the problem. We were striving for zero waste, but we realized that actually zero waste isn't enough.

We actually need to be making products that do a whole lot more good."

- Rebecca Percasky,

Co-Founder, Better Packaging

As a global organization, Coralus resides on the traditional territories of many nations.

We acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who are traditional stewards of the land where our headquarters reside: the Wendat, the Anishinaabe Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the Métis Nation.

Indigenous wisdom is the pathway home to a life-sustaining society. We work alongside our Indigenous sisters, elders past present + future, globally, to transform systems on behalf of a better world.
