2025 Impact Report
This past year was a landmark for WFW: we launched our website, expanded our reach through high-impact virtual programming, and - most importantly - doubled our angel participation year-over-year.
We’re making a genuine impact by building a connected, knowledgeable community across Canada.
Sarah Jordan
Angel Investor
In this edition of The Spotlight, in partnership with The Scotiabank Women Initiative™, we sit down with Sarah Jordan, a transformational leader and former private equity CEO. Sarah aims to amplify women’s presence at the investment table, believing that when women deploy capital, they strengthen the entire innovation ecosystem.
Sarah's investment thesis prioritizes founder resilience, curiosity, and lived experience. She seeks disruptive, purpose-driven ventures where she can act as a "connector" and "activator."
Natalie Sabri | Dough Parlour
Natalie founded Dough Parlour to challenge the status quo of children’s play materials, reimagining something simple—modeling dough—into a non-toxic, eco-conscious alternative that is safe for little hands, gentle on the planet, and thoughtfully designed to support learning, sensory development, and overall well-being.
