Such compelling and important issues surrounding women and girls discussed today. Thank you for providing the space, time and platform for all of these emerging ideas to be showcased. It was an honor to be attendance as a jury member to witness this incredible ambition and talent.

As a founder, I particularly appreciated the way Cap Inclusive framed out how to assess a pitch. Truly one of the best facilitated pitch sessions I’ve seen. Well done!

It was SUCH an honour connecting with female investors and founders who JUST GET IT. What a super well-organized event with such smart panellists and female VCs. We all gained so much today - and you’ll see so much more of us come. #Femtech on the rise!
Robin Newman
Co-founder, Studio Jayne
The event did a great job of aligning with the specific challenges and opportunities in FemTech. I particularly appreciated the presence of so many women and allies in the room who could genuinely relate to the issues we face in this space. The energy was incredibly supportive, and there was a true sense of commitment to nurturing and growing ventures in FemTech. This made for a very empowering atmosphere.

FemTech Breakfast Club provides an essential platform for women building the future of healthcare. When I first participated in 2023, vopemed was an early-stage startup raising our pre-seed round. Winning gave us invaluable exposure, connections, and support from the Montreal ecosystem.

Co-Founder and CEO, Vope Medical
I was really surprised by the quality of the FemTech Breakfast Club and the number of real potential investors and partners that participated in person. I recommend this event to all women entrepreneurs wanting to be on the map in the Canadian investors ecosystem.
