Ventures
The Alish Group Portfolio
Three ventures united by one belief: when you give people the right support, strategy, and community, extraordinary things happen.
🤝 For Good Consultants
We don’t just consult — we become part of the team.
For Good Consultants is not your average consulting firm. We don’t deliver polished decks and disappear. We embed ourselves in your organization, work side-by-side with your team, and build the operational backbone you need to actually fulfill your mission.
We serve government-funded organizations and nonprofits across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nunavut — from emerging grassroots organizations to established institutions managing multi-year government contracts like AAISA’s GAP program. Our work spans grant writing that actually gets funded, strategic planning that actually gets implemented, HR solutions, financial management, capacity building, program development, and board governance.
When organizations need real, hands-on support — not a PowerPoint that gathers dust — they call us. Meet the team behind For Good or book a speaking engagement.

🔗 Linked.Club
333+ ambitious professionals. One powerful network.
Linked.Club was born from a simple insight: the most valuable professional connections don’t happen on apps — they happen in rooms. But not just any room. Rooms that are intentionally curated, where every person brings something to the table, and where the format encourages real conversation instead of surface-level small talk.
As a paid community, we attract members who are serious about building their networks. Our events — held at venues like Heliopolis and Platform Calgary — range from intimate roundtable dinners to structured networking sessions, each designed to spark the kind of connections that lead to partnerships, deals, and lifelong professional relationships.
Not another business card exchange. A real community where career-changing introductions happen every month. Learn more about the founder.
