Women Innovators Scale Up and Investment Program

EF 2024-25 · 2024-04-01

Résumé
This C to O is being proposed because of a recommendation from the EDI team and an acknowledged need for training and education for Women Founders of IRAP eligible companies. The program's goal is to close the funding gap for women innovators. Specifically this program will target firms who have raised seed funds and have a goal to raise Series A funds. The anticipated benefit is the 12 to 15 firms access funding and to have at least one firm raise $3 to $5 million in funding. Anticipated risk is low as the firm providing the program has already successfully delivered the program and is ready to deliver to this cohort.

Description
This C to O is being proposed because of a recommendation from the EDI team and an acknowledged need for training and education for Women Founders of IRAP eligible companies. The program's goal is to close the funding gap for women innovators. Specifically this program will target firms who have raised seed funds and have a goal to raise Series A funds. The anticipated benefit is the 12 to 15 firms access funding and to have at least one firm raise $3 to $5 million in funding. Anticipated risk is low as the firm providing the program has already successfully delivered the program and is ready to deliver to this cohort.
Description (French)
Cet ACO est proposé en raison d’une recommandation de l’équipe EDI et d’un besoin reconnu de formation et d’éducation pour les femmes fondatrices d’entreprises éligibles au PARI. L’objectif du programme est de combler le déficit de financement pour les femmes innovatrices. Plus précisément, ce programme ciblera les entreprises qui ont levé des fonds d’amorçage et qui ont pour objectif de lever des fonds de série A. L’avantage prévu est que 12 à 15 entreprises accèdent au financement et qu’au moins une entreprise obtienne un financement de 3 à 5 millions de dollars. Le risque anticipé est faible, car l’entreprise qui fournit le programme l’a déjà mis en œuvre avec succès et est prête à l’appliquer à cette cohorte.
