Are you a woman-owned or women-led technology company in Atlantic Canada? Apply now to join The Centre for Women in Business‘s (CWB) pilot cohort of Grow Now for Female Tech Founders!

Grow Now is a virtual, peer-to-peer learning program dedicated exclusively to women in tech who want to build and scale their business in 2021 and beyond.

The program includes:

  • support and accountability to develop a strategic growth plan that increases the competitive and financial success of your business
  • group brainstorms and problem-solving through mastermind discussions with other women in tech and program facilitators
  • skills training with technology and business experts
  • information sessions with service providers, such as the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service
  • regular one-on-one business advisories with project lead and business advisor, Nasil Nam

The group will meet virtually for a half-day, twice per month (bi-weekly) for eight months beginning in early March 2021.

To be eligible, your business must:

  • be located in Atlantic Canada
  • be in the technology industry
  • have been in business for 2+ years
  • have a minimal viable product (MVP)
  • have generated $100K in revenues or raised $300K in capital
  • have a business plan and demonstrated viable business model
  • be focused on scaling your business in 2021

Each cohort will be made up of 6-8 participants. The CWB will not accept competing businesses into the same cohort. Confidentiality is a key component of the program – you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement in the first session.

There is no cost to participate in the pilot cohort for CWB members. If you are not a current member, the cost to join is $125+tax.
