Women+ Investor Incubator

The Women+ Investor Incubator trains aspiring women and gender-diverse angel investors through an eight-week virtual program. Its curriculum covers essential startup investment skills: pitch deck analysis, investment memo writing, term sheet preparation, due diligence, and deal closure. Participants also receive an online investment platform, providing practical tools for managing investments in emerging tech ventures.

This incubator is a joint initiative by Elevate and The Firehood, a Canadian organization enhancing women's leadership in technology. It emerged from the understanding that a diverse investor community is vital for supporting underrepresented high-growth entrepreneurs. The program leverages their combined expertise to cultivate investors poised to impact the technology ecosystem.

The program targets accredited women and gender-diverse individuals in Canada seeking to invest in innovative technology startups. Participants engage founders from the Women+ Entrepreneur Incubator, forming a vetted pipeline of investment opportunities. Its vision is to broaden the investor base, reshaping early-stage funding for women and gender-diverse entrepreneurs across Canada.
