Again, I think everything works together as a suite. I think we need to create pathways for more women angels. It's the entire cycle of venture capital. From the earliest stages right up through the venture capital, I think certainly there are many advantages to be had, but we need to inspire more women to pursue that career path—it starts very early—and enable more women to become educated about the opportunity and the ability to invest.
There are many organizations that we collaborate with across this country. The Capital Angel Network and SheBoot are anchored here in Ottawa, but together with BDC's “Thrive” venture capital funds, StandUp Ventures, Phoenix Fire, The Firehood, Women's Equity Lab, The51 Ventures and Sandpiper Ventures are all leading by example with women who are bringing new women investors into the pipeline and creating the inspiration that enables them to see themselves as investors, which I see as one of the anchor challenges.
Before we think about all of those other advantages, we have to equip women to see themselves in those roles. We have to create pathways and make the opportunity something that's possible.
