How Women-Led Funding is Changing the Game | Startup Women

​This is the first of five webinars Startup Canada will host, as part of the Startup Women 2023 program. These webinars aim to support the business development of women-identifying entrepreneurs and give them the tools and know-how to navigate the early stages of their entrepreneurial journey. 

​​ABOUT
There is a growing number of women-led investment funds in Canada that are specifically interested in funding women founders, a group often grossly underinvested in. Research shows that when a woman is at the table, a fund is twice as likely to invest in a women-led start-up. Meet some of the women leaders who sit at these funding tables.
