What Is The Odlum Brown
Forum Pitch?
Funding starts with community.
One of the biggest barriers women entrepreneurs face is connecting with folks who can open doors to the right funding opportunities.
The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch was developed to address this barrier.
With community at the heart of the program, its goal is to foster connections with funders, leaders and experts ready to support you on your funding and business journey.
Along the way, you’ll gain tangible experience, build confidence, refine your pitch and build a toolkit that will set you up for growth that aligns with your vision.
Who is it for?
The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch is for resilient, growth-minded founders who are driven by a clear vision for their business and have already taken meaningful steps to bring it to life. You’re building a venture rooted in purpose and potential, and starting to spark meaningful connections with customers and partners.
You see the road ahead and are ready to think bigger: scaling your business, raising capital, and sharpening the strategies that will take you to the next stage. You’re eager to share your story, connect with investors, and step into opportunities that can fuel your growth.
