Sure.
The previous questions focused largely on our seed funding stream. The seed funding stream was a stream that was envisioned to be able to provide funding across the country to smaller communities and to entrepreneurs who weren't usually able to access different pools of funding within the government. The seed funding stream sought out partners from across the country. We'd never received applications from Newfoundland and P.E.I. or some of these regions, and that was really the purpose of the seed funding stream. It was envisioned prior to the previous chair's joining the board.
This program has enabled SDTC to increase the number of women entrepreneurs who have been funded through SDTC funds. We've also enabled them to graduate to a larger fund and to perhaps access larger pools of government funding that's available to many entrepreneurs across the country but that these smaller entrepreneurs haven't had the opportunity to access.
