THE “WHY” BEHIND THE PROGRAM

According to the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, 15.6% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Canada are owned by women and 50% of businesses today are created by women, yet 90% of venture capital (VC) deals go to companies founded by men.

Essentials In Raising Capital is part of Spring’s ongoing commitment supporting purpose-driven businesses with women and non-binary leaders. This program supports entrepreneurs in refining their investment readiness and developing their plan for business growth.
