Ventures
The Alish Group Portfolio
Four 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 Canada, from Nunavut to Alberta, 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 Consultants or book a speaking engagement.

🔗 Linked.Club
300+ 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.

- 🎯 Curated networking events with vetted professionals
- 🍽️ Exclusive dinner gatherings and roundtables
- 💬 Access to a private members-only community
- 🤝 Warm introductions to other members
- 📈 Real relationships that drive business results
GoWebsited
Your website, handled.
Most small businesses and nonprofits do not need an agency. They need a good website that stays fast, stays current and never becomes somebody’s side project. GoWebsited is that, on a monthly subscription.
Design, build, hosting, ongoing changes and SEO in one plan, with digital marketing add-ons when a site needs to bring in leads rather than just exist. No project fees that balloon, no six week wait for a text change.
Built for the people who have been quoted five figures for a brochure site and walked away.
Visit GoWebsited ↗What Is Included
- Design and build, done for you
- Hosting, security and updates handled
- Ongoing edits every month
- SEO and AI search visibility built in
- Ads and lead generation as add-ons
Founder Dine
Four to six founders. One table. A restaurant nobody picked.
Networking events put a hundred people in a room and hope. Founder Dine does the opposite: a small table, a matching process, and a surprise restaurant, so the only thing left to do is talk.
It is built for founders and executives who are past collecting business cards and want the two or three relationships a year that actually change something.
See Founder Dine ↗How It Works
- Apply once, get matched by what you are building
- Four to six people per table
- The restaurant is revealed the day before
- No pitching, no name tags, no agenda
Alish Group Inc.
Alish Group Inc. is the holding company behind the portfolio, at alish-group.com. Our thesis is simple: organizations that invest in strategy, community, and people outperform those that don’t. Whether nonprofit or for-profit, the fundamentals of building something that lasts are the same.
Each venture serves a different sector, but they share the same DNA, practical expertise, deep relationships, and a commitment to results over rhetoric. Led by Alish Shams, a TEDx speaker and community builder with 10+ years of experience, 300+ events, and a track record of bringing the right people into the right rooms. Connect on LinkedIn.
