SheBoot is a national non-profit corporation headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario that prepares women founders across Canada to pitch their business and secure investment. Founded by Julia Elvidge, Jennifer Francis, and Sonya Shorey and built together with the Capital Angel Network and Invest Ottawa in early 2020, this organization aims to help address the funding gap facing women entrepreneurs by increasing the number of women making and receiving investment. Designed and delivered by women investors and entrepreneurs, SheBoot’s annual training program arms technology and technology-enabled startups with investment-readiness skills paired with support services that prepare entrepreneurs to secure investment. The bootcamp portion of the program starts in the fall and culminates in a pitch competition for a minimum of $300,000 in equity-based capital. This investment is made by women investors committed to fueling the next generation of women-owned and led firms. SheBoot is grateful to receive advisory services and funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) and partner with Mistral Ventures and Welch to accelerate progress towards its goals. It also benefits from previous investments through the ScaleUp platform supported by FedDev Ontario and delivered by Invest Ottawa. For additional information, visit www.sheboot.ca.
