The WIN-VC Season
Raising capital isn’t just about your pitch — it’s about how you answer investor questions.
WIN-VC acknowledges the support of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada. ISED has awarded funding for WIN-VC that will make the venture capital environment more inclusive for women by transforming traditional investment processes, processes and knowledge into respectful and meaningful approaches that value equity and impact with a focus on diverse women and non-binary entrepreneurs and SMEs including Black communities, Indigenous peoples, racialized populations, persons with a disability, 2SLGBTQ2+ and new Canadians.
Social Enterprise New Brunswick (SENB), an initiative of UNB’s Pond-Deshpande Centre, gratefully acknowledges the support of the Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation (ESIC). ESIC’s investment helps advance social enterprise as a pathway to community resilience, sustainability, and poverty reduction in New Brunswick by supporting learning opportunities, sector development, research, and collaboration that enable organizations to generate both social and economic value. As part of this work, SENB is proud to present this 10-episode podcast series, which highlights the voices, experiences, and innovations shaping New Brunswick’s social enterprise ecosystem and strengthens knowledge sharing across the sector.
