Supportive Community
A network of like-minded women entrepreneurs providing support, collaboration, and growth opportunities through monthly networking events, an online community platform, and collaboration opportunities.
The Power of Community
Research shows that entrepreneurs with strong support networks are 3.5x more likely to succeed. Women-focused communities are particularly valuable, providing safe spaces to share challenges, seek advice, and build meaningful connections.
Canadian Context
Our community brings together women entrepreneurs from across Canada's diverse regions, creating opportunities for cross-regional collaboration, market expansion, and shared learning about province-specific business environments.
Inclusive Environment
We're committed to creating an inclusive community that welcomes and supports women entrepreneurs from all backgrounds, including Indigenous women, newcomers, women with disabilities, and women from rural and remote communities.
The Importance of Community
Women entrepreneurs in Canada face unique challenges that make community support particularly valuable:
- Women entrepreneurs are more likely to report feelings of isolation and lack of support networks compared to male counterparts (Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, 2022)
- Only 16% of Canadian SMEs are majority women-owned, creating fewer natural opportunities for peer-to-peer connections with other women business owners
- Women in male-dominated industries like technology, construction, and manufacturing report even greater feelings of isolation and lack of representation
- Geographic disparities across Canada's vast territory can create additional barriers to building in-person support networks, particularly for women in rural and remote communities
Our community programs are designed to address these challenges by creating accessible, supportive spaces for women entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, and grow together, regardless of location, industry, or business stage.

Supportive Communication
Provide constructive feedback and support. Celebrate successes and offer encouragement during challenges. Avoid criticism that isn't constructive or helpful.
