actively share energy, innovation, and resources, engaging in collaborative projects that empower each other. We aim to elevate women to become venture capitalists and angel investors, increasing the current funding for women-led startups and pre-seed projects from 2% to 25%. By fostering mentorship, hosting workshops, and building a robust network, we will initiate a transformative movement that not only enhances the corporate landscape for all genders but also champions diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship. Together, we will create a lasting impact, reshape funding dynamics, and inspire future generations of women leaders.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"ekit-team-social-list\">\n\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-b18b4c3\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\" aria-label=\"LinkedIn\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-linkedin-in\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M100.28 448H7.4V148.9h92.88zM53.79 108.1C24.09 108.1 0 83.5 0 53.8a53.79 53.79 0 0 1 107.58 0c0 29.7-24.1 54.3-53.79 54.3zM447.9 448h-92.68V302.4c0-34.7-.7-79.2-48.29-79.2-48.29 0-55.69 37.7-55.69 76.7V448h-92.78V148.9h89.08v40.8h1.3c12.4-23.5 42.69-48.3 87.88-48.3 94 0 111.28 61.9 111.28 142.3V448z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e576c18 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5e576c18\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18276a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"18276a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_18276a0_737\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\"  data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"ekit_team_modal_#18276a0_737\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"802\" src=\"https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-1021x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-932\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-1021x1024.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-768x770.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vancouver.tie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PHOTO-2025-06-21-18-24-33.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_18276a0_737\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tClair Skillen\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\">Co Lead &amp;
