Our program participants are at the helm of high-potential, women-led organizations. Partnering with female CEOs and founders, our global platform connects these leaders with thoughtfully curated partners, programming, and opportunities to empower them to take their businesses to the next level. Our program, which runs for a 12-month duration beginning at the start of each calendar year, offers participants a powerful combination of:
-
Executive Membership
Participants are partnered with a executive mentor, who offers relevant industry expertise and/or entrepreneurial insights. These mentors are carefully curated and tailored to provide relevant guidance and coaching to assist our participants in achieving their set-out objectives and goals.
-
Professional Networking & Workshops
Designed to elevate your investor relations and story-telling, these professional networking and workshop opportunities provide our participants the opportunity to showcase their business and refine their pitch. Participants will round out these opportunities by participating in the CG Global Growth Conference, one of the industry’s premier investment industry conferences for companies and investors focused on growth.
-
Strategic Advisory
A team of Canaccord Genuity capital markets and wealth management professionals form your dedicated Advisory Team. Participants will work with this team to lay out their objectives they hope to accomplish with this program, and formulate a plan and resource map to help them succeed.
"At Canaccord Genuity, we recognize the immense impact of women entrepreneurs in shaping industries, driving innovation, and fostering economic growth. As Chair of the Women Entrepreneurs Program, I am deeply committed to championing female-led businesses by providing access to the capital markets, strategic insights, and a strong network of like-minded leaders.
This program is designed to empower women founders at every stage of their journey—whether they are scaling their businesses, navigating complex growth opportunities, or preparing for transformative transactions. Our goal is to not only provide access, resources, and expertise but to serve as trusted partners in their success.
I am proud to lead this initiative and to work alongside a team that is passionate about breaking down barriers and creating meaningful opportunities for women in business. We look forward to supporting and celebrating the incredible achievements of women entrepreneurs across all sectors."
