How I Raised Series: Interview with Bobbie Racette

The How I Raised Series of webinars celebrates women founders who have beaten the odds and found success fundraising.

Join the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH) and the Canadian Women's Network (CWN) on this next edition of the series, featuring a fireside chat with Bobbie Racette, founder & CEO of Virtual Gurus and askBetty, moderated by Joanne Fedeyko, founder & CEO of Connection Silicon Valley.

Dr. Wendy Cukier, founder and academic director of the Diversity Institute and academic director of WEKH, will share research insights from the preview of their recently launched annual report, The State of Women’s Entrepreneurship in Canada 2023. Women entrepreneurs from every corner of the nation and every sector of the economy are growing businesses, having social impact and exporting around the world. In spite of their achievements, many women founders still face barriers to starting and scaling their businesses and raising funds. It’s more important than ever to celebrate successful women entrepreneurs who serve as role models and inspiration to other women, and learn from their experiences.
