Here For All Women

When we use the term ‘women,’ we refer to all individuals who identify as women. This includes women of colour, transgender women, and women with gender-diverse identities (as we know that gender is fluid and can change throughout one’s lifetime). These women have historically and systemically been excluded from many mainstream programs, services, and opportunities.

We’re making a concerted effort to prioritize equity, access and inclusion in everything we do. Our goal is to ensure that anyone who accesses our program truly feels welcome and supported.

More Than a Program – A Thriving Community

SheBoot isn’t just about funding and mentoring; it’s about fostering an impact-driven community.

We understand that every business journey is distinct. If you’re wondering if our program is right for your venture, don’t sideline your potential by counting yourself out. Instead, get in touch with our team. We’ll help you navigate your eligibility and do our best to support you beyond our program.
