W Venture Growth, a one-year program that offers access to resources, mentorship, and a community of female entrepreneurs, has announced the 16 B.C. founders accepted into its first cohort, from 35 applicants.

Each venture in this group was selected for its potential for rapid growth and significant market opportunities across Canada and beyond. The initiative, funded in part by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), aims to support the development of a thriving ecosystem of women-led tech and tech-enabled companies in B.C. Seven companies are based in the Lower Mainland while the others operate throughout the province.
