At the end of February, the consultant team took a field trip. They attended The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch Semi-Final Event. It was an inspiring evening! Before the pitches started, our consultants had a chance to chat with the showcase entrepreneurs to learn about their products. All had been connected in some way to The Forum through its different programming. During the main event, they learned about everything from energy drinks to software for dairy farmers to biomedical innovations to mushroom leather.
Join The Forum in Vancouver on April 25, 2025 for a celebration and fundraiser like no other. The Pitch Finale directly supports Canada’s growing network of self-identifying women, non-binary, and trans-femme entrepreneurs.
Over the last 22 years, The Forum has stood on the same principles: believing in women entrepreneurs and their ability to positively impact their communities and the economy when given the resources and connections needed to support their businesses.
As a registered charity, it has activated a community of supporters and champions to support women with all different forms of capital: financial capital, wisdom capital, and social capital.
Its programs, available to all women, and offering a welcoming space to self-identifying women, trans-femme, and non-binary entrepreneurs across Canada, serve approximately 1,600 entrepreneurs annually and connect them with a network of over 18,000 alumnae.
As their largest fundraising event of the year, The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch Finale is a pivotal opportunity for supporters, donors, community leaders, and entrepreneurs to come together and advance The Forum’s mission of shifting social and economic power for women entrepreneurs.
