Mentoring, investor access and a global stage for women founders across Western Canada, at every stage of the journey.
Rooted in the global TiE Women mission - to embrace, engage, and empower women entrepreneurs - TiE Vancouver Women chapter drives Western Canada-specific programming to support women founders at every stage. We deliver:
TiE Vancouver Women is part of a global program running across TiE chapters worldwide. Every Western Canada founder who joins becomes part of this story.
Our finalists took the stage at University Canada West Granville Campus and pitched to a room of judges, mentors and fellow founders. Every one of them showed up with a business they've built, tested and believe in.
Here's what struck us: these founders came in at very different stages, and the program worked for all of them. That's the point of it.
