Meet Shelley
ABOUT SHELLEY KUIPERS
Shelley co-founded IOVIA in 2015 after previously founding Chaordix, Stormworks and Adventure Capital. She is also co-founder of feminist investment collective, The51 and sustainable direct to consumer clothing brand Harris Kuipers, all in addition to championing the entrepreneurs she has chosen to invest in. Shelley loves to travel for business and adventure but also questions the sustainability of it all. When on a break Shelley finds herself revelling in nature with family and friends, and with the odd glass of cider at her home on Salt Spring Island, Canada. She divides her time between the west coast and Calgary, Canada and right this minute is probably dreaming up ways to realize the possibilities. She’ll tell you about them. Here. On this blog.
As the founder and CEO of IOVIA, Shelley is creating new enterprise business models for growth, focused on consumer engagement and participation with her global clients and global team of consultants. She co-founded IOVIA in 2015 after previously founding several other innovative consumer focused companies, including Chaordix and Stormworks. Shelley is equally passionate about supporting and investing in others who are building great things. She founded Adventure Capital to support early stage and culture-first tech companies through a mixture of investment and hands on leadership.
She also co-founded The51, a feminist investment collective with two other relentless female entrepreneurs with the goal of uniting Canada’s untapped female wealth to create a new critical mass of female investors to drive the next economic wave, making Canada the centre for female-powered capital. As a lover of great style and a believer in sustainable circular fashion, Shelley founded Harris Kuipers, a direct to consumer lifestyle brand focused on designing curating ethically-sourced, circular, sustainable clothing that inspires individuality, confidence and elegance for work, travel and everywhere in between.
