Social Media, Marketing, and Creative Branding Internship

Q2 – 2022 – Canada, UK, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa

This internship offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual who is looking to get involved in the creative processes and outreach mechanisms within the dynamic worlds of private equity, venture capital, and impact investing.

Gain experience and in-sight into working with entrepreneurial companies in emerging markets, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, who are in a dynamic and rapid phase of growth.


About Us:
Supivaa is a play on words. “Support” + “Vivre” (to live) thus “supporting life” in Franglais (French/English) – which are the two languages of Canada and the majority of African countries. It dawned on us… Supivaa = “Supporting the Divas!” Thus, Supivaa was born.


Supivaa is an impact investment advisory firm rooted in agriculture, renewable energy and health, within a strong focus in gender-lens investing and SDG 5 gender equity. With a network of global experts and consultants, we offer business development services, supporting entrepreneurs and business leaders through their key stages of development whether it be first starting or scaling up.


We also work with investors looking to identify impactful opportunities in emerging markets and with well-experienced impact investors and funders (VCs, institutional investors, foundations, funds, DFIs, government-entities, family offices, and HNWI) by supporting the development, management and deployment of their impact initiatives inline with their investment thesis.

We are a Canadian firm with a global outlook spanning from Vancouver to Toronto, Washington DC, London, Paris, Nairobi, Lagos and Johannesburg. Supivaa’s founders and collaborators set out to support entrepreneurs in the next phase of their business growth and ensure that these businesses get the backing they need.


We are looking for a motivated candidate that is especially interested in content writing, communications, and the development of social media and marketing strategies.
