First Spear Group finds economic opportunities, brings investment to the table, and builds so Indigenous communities own the outcome.

We are the economic development general contractor for Indigenous communities across Canada. Like a general contractor in construction, we manage the project from start to finish, assemble the right specialists, and are accountable for results. The community is the owner. We deliver the result.

Our model operates in three integrated phases:

FIND IT: We originate commercial deals. M&A targets, supply chain entry points, sector openings in defense, marine resources, energy, and agriculture. We bring the deal flow to communities that don't currently have access to it.

FUND IT: We connect communities to three capital channels: commercial investment, Indigenous development lending, and government funding programs. Communities can engage us at no out-of-pocket cost for initial phases through existing federal programs.

BUILD IT: We assemble sector-specific partners, build operational infrastructure, and ensure the community retains ownership and control. Every engagement includes explicit capacity transfer so the community becomes self-sufficient.

This is not consulting. We don't deliver reports and leave. We stay in the deal, deploy capital alongside communities, and are accountable for real economic outcomes.

First Spear Group is a federally incorporated, Indigenous-owned firm based in Cambridge, Nova Scotia.

Community First. Indigenous Advisors.
We Find It. We Fund It. We Build It.
