W Venture
W Venture builds capacity for women entrepreneurs and their tech ventures.
Project Overview
The Problem
The rapidly expanding technology sector is creating new opportunities and altering traditional industries in unimagined ways. However, women remain underrepresented in this growing sector. For example, only 10 per cent of Victoria’s tech companies have a female founder, and less than 39 per cent of the tech workforce in the Okanagan is female.

"In the last three months, I learned and unlearned many things, and every session added value to the growth of ScoutBees. My fellow women entrepreneurs, subject experts, mentors and program managers are helpful and generous in sharing their knowledge and learnings. I also appreciate that the lessons are practical and easy to implement at whatever stage of your business you are at."
