Hi All, My team and I are hosting a 1 hour webinar to introduce people to our investment fund with the goal of demystifying ETA. A quick background on us, we are a newly launched fund which is apart of BDC Capital (The Business Development Bank of Canadas Private Equity and Venture Capital arm). We are a $50M equity fund backing both traditional and self funded female led or co-led searches in Canada. Please sign up using the link above! The French version will be hosted on December 4th at 11AM EST and the link can be found here: redacted@d850fe64-2c13-44d0-a5b3-fedbb4edffbd Thanks!

Thanks for the tag, Luke! I attended the first webinar and it was incredibly informative and engaging. I highly recommend it to any woman in Canada who wants to learn more about the ETA Thrive Fund, it’s a great opportunity to ask questions and get real clarity. I also recently connected with Geoff, which was fantastic. I’ll definitely be sharing this with my network!
