Founder's Fireside Chat
We're on a mission to increase investment in women-led ventures
So we're putting the spotlight on Canadian women founders raising early-stage capital.
What To Expect
A virtual session featuring a live founder chat, moderated by WFW, where we dive into the company's story, cap table, growth trajectory, and their funding ask. Then, it’s the audience's turn to engage in a live Q&A.
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.
