About Women in VC

Women in VC is a grassroots organization that gives self-identified female venture capitalists across Canada the opportunity to share best practices, network, and support each others' career development. What began as a bi-monthly dinner series between 5 women, has grown to a community with 100+ active members. 

 

Our vision is to unify the Canadian venture capital community, equip the next generation of leaders, cultivate confidence, and enable women to see themselves in a spectrum of diverse leadership for generations to come.

Events

To maintain the tight-knit community that was formed with the inception of Women in VC, the group hosts in-person bi-monthly events throughout the year. In light of COVID-19, this has been temporarily moved online for public health and safety reasons.
