WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Testimonials
I’ve become very intentional about where and when I pitch these days — and the one event this year that I found to be incredibly valuable was the FemTech Breakfast Club. The support I received through their community, the event itself, and the connections that followed have all proven to be incredibly beneficial to my company.
Christine Goudie
Founder of Grandville Biomedical
I truly had a great time at the event and I can confidently say that it was my best pitch to date thanks to the inclusive environment!
Meiqi He
Founder & CEO of OpAI Innovations
It was very encouraging to see the support among funders, sponsors, and founders for innovations in the FemTech space. What struck me immediately was that the demographics in the room did not resemble most pitch competitions.
Esther Chin
Co-founder of STITCH
As a founder, I particularly appreciated the way Cap Inclusive framed out how to assess a pitch. Truly one of the best facilitated pitch sessions I’ve seen. Well done!
Brianna Blaney
CEO & co-founder of Pocketed, a Deloitte business
It was SUCH an honour connecting with female investors and founders who JUST GET IT. What a super well-organized event with such smart panellists and female VCs. We all gained so much today - and you’ll see so much more of us come. #Femtech on the rise!
Robin Newman
Co-founder, Studio Jayne
The event did a great job of aligning with the specific challenges and opportunities in FemTech. I particularly appreciated the presence of so many women and allies in the room who could genuinely relate to the issues we face in this space. The energy was incredibly supportive, and there was a true sense of commitment to nurturing and growing ventures in FemTech. This made for a very empowering atmosphere.
Ibukun Elebute
Co-Founder & COO, Cellect Laboratories Inc.
The Femtech Breakfast Club was a platform where women entrepreneurs like myself found additional funding, pitched alongside other inspiring women, received incredible feedback from judges, and honed our skills through helpful workshop prep. It's not just an event; it's a platform to elevate women entrepreneurs
Amy Lorincz
Co-Founder and CEO, Vope Medical
For our first pitch, we don't think we could have been in a better or more supportive environment! We appreciated how low pressure it felt and how engaged and passionate the folks in the room were.
Angie Ibrahim
Co-Founder, Petal Pregnancy
It was an honour to be amongst this truly inspiring and engaging group of forward-thinking folks, and I'm still pinching myself that Bfree Cup was the winner.
Leisa Hirtz
Founder Bfree Cup
It was an awesome opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, to learn more about what's going on within the ecosystem, and to connect with inspiring peers, fellow founders, and potential investors!
