Collisions YYC

In this episode, learn from Shelley Kuipers, Co-founder of The51, and Salima Shivji, Executive Director and Board Director for Movement51. They discuss the implications of gender on funding for women, women-led businesses, and women participating in the investment ecosystem. They explain how this gendered lens affects money and investments, and their goal is to empower people to change where capital comes from and who gets to make capital decisions.

Show Notes

As Canada’s economy and social landscape continue to evolve, it is becoming increasingly important for all individuals - especially women of diverse backgrounds - to possess strong financial acumen. Through The51, Movement51, and Her Story pitch competition, Shelley and Salima are dedicated to providing educational opportunities that will enable women to access more capital and make meaningful contributions to the economy. By including those who may not otherwise have a voice or a stake in the system, we can create a stronger world for everyone.
