April 4, 2023 by Bulletin Board Leave a Comment

Six leading BIPOC Women entrepreneurs from across Alberta will pitch their businesses to a sold-out crowd of investors, tech founders and innovation enthusiasts on Wednesday, April 5th.

The second event in Innovate Calgary’s inclusive innovation portfolio series focused on supporting BIPOC and Rural founders, the BIPOC Women Founders in Tech Pitch Event celebrates the contributions that BIPOC Women founders make to Calgary’s burgeoning tech industry.  

“BIPOC women founders are leveraging their unique experiences and perspectives to build their value propositions within a competitive market. There is clearly demand for pitch events and activities like this that help support them on their journey. We are excited to invite the community to celebrate and support these entrepreneurs with us” says Jerome Morgan, Senior Innovation Manager and project lead for the BIPOC Rural Tech Founders event series.
