Women Business Enterprises Canada Council (WBE Canada) is pleased to announce Venturepark has joined WBE Canada as our newest Partner. This collaboration will benefit and work in conjunction with WBE Canada’s Pathfinder program, strengthening the resources available to women entrepreneurs building and scaling their businesses. This partnership also introduces new opportunities for women-owned brands to expand their reach within Canada and connect more directly to retail and distribution channels.
Venturepark is a non-profit supporting early-stage entrepreneurs in the food & wellness categories through accelerators, mentorship, and industry connections designed to help brands grow and reach national markets. Through initiatives such as retail readiness programming and market access opportunities, Venturepark supports founders in scaling their brands and increasing visibility with buyers across Canada.
Through this collaboration, women founders in WBE Canada’s network will have access to the Venturepark Growth Hub, a platform that brings together resources, expert guidance, and a founder community designed to support business growth and market expansion. This complements WBE Canada’s Pathfinder: The Founder’s Gateway, a program for women business owners preparing to scale and position for WBE Canada Certification, providing access to growth resources, events, networking opportunities, certification preparedness, and ongoing support from the WBE Canada team and advisors.
WBE Canada Partners work with organizations such as Venturepark to expand support for women-owned businesses and strengthen the opportunities available through programs like Pathfinder. Partners contribute through thought leadership, content, educational resources, and engagement opportunities, while building relationships within a national network of certified women-owned businesses. This includes curated opportunities that support brand development, product growth, and expanded market reach within Canada.
As part of this collaboration, WBE Canada will support sharing of Venturepark opportunities designed to help brands expand their reach within Canada and connect with new retail and distribution channels. This includes the Venturepark Summit 2026 Toronto on June 9, 2026, bringing together founders, industry experts, and service providers for a full day of learning, networking, and connection, with a focus on food, beverage, health, and wellness brands. These initiatives align with WBE Canada’s focus on supporting women-owned businesses as they scale and position for procurement and market access.
