The Forum is a Canadian charity that mentors, educates and empowers women entrepreneurs. For 20 years they’ve been supporting businesses big and small.
Now in its 7th year, The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch is a program that helps women entrepreneurs navigate and fast track their funding journey.
Addressing the barrier of access to capital, The Forum Pitch gives women entrepreneurs 1:1 mentorship and access to specialized resources so they can share their business visions with confidence and secure the funding, community, and support they need for growth.
The three startups pitching on stage this year are MintList, QUIL, and VodaSafe.
MintList wants to revolutionize the auto sales industry for both consumers and dealers. Previously known as TrafficDriven, they raised a seed round last year. Representing MintList on stage will be c-founder and COO Mehrsa Raeiszadeh
QUIL is on a mission to make e-commerce logistics more sustainable by providing consumers with the option to choose reusable and returnable packaging when shopping at their favourite Canadian brands. Representing QUIL on stage will be co-founders Mehwish Panjwani and Kelly Thomson.
VodaSafe is the maker of AquaEye, a hand-held sonar device that uses the latest ultrasound and artificial intelligence technologies to provide record-breaking water rescue response. It counts Whistler Search & Rescue among its advocates. Representing VodaSafe on stage will be founder and CEO Carlyn Loncaric.
