Makivik: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Makivik has played a leading role in the development of Nunavik, a region in between Canada and Quebec where the Inuit people have established their own unique place and identity. The organization, whose name means "To Rise Up" in Inuktitut, represents the Inuit of Nunavik and safeguards their rights, interests, and financial compensation as outlined in the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and the more recent offshore Nunavik Inuit Land Claim Agreement. Makivik is involved in various activities, including owning profitable businesses, promoting social economic development, improving housing conditions, preserving Inuit language and culture, and protecting the environment. The establishment of the Nuvviti Development Corporation in 2017 further enhances their operations. Makivik's work highlights the potential benefits of modern Aboriginal treaties and land claim settlements for both governments and Indigenous communities. By signing the first Agreement in 1975, Makivik emphasized the importance of developing a new relationship and approach to conducting business with the governments of Quebec and Canada. Through its subsidiary companies, Makivik has a compelling story to share, and they encourage everyone to learn more about their organization and the Inuit of Nunavik.

About FundedIQ's Makivik Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Makivik is left off this page rather than filled in.
