Applications open Monday, May 9, 2022. Stay in the know! Click here to sign-up for a calendar invitation reminder of when applications officially open.

Don't count yourself out before you apply! If you're not sure if your company qualified for SheBoot, get in touch! If you have any questions, please email Manager, Early Stage Programs, Erin Seegmiller at eseegmiller@investottawa.ca

Applications will be evaluated on the following criteria:

1. The market opportunity (Is this an innovative idea addressing a big problem?)
2. Validation / traction (Is the problem validated? Is there evidence the solution may work?)
3. Market knowledge (Do you understand the market and have relevant experience?)
4. Investment Opportunity (Is this an opportunity to scale?)

Founders will then be alerted if they have been selected for interviews, the second stage of the application process.

For ease of completion, SurveyMonkey will ask you to create an account prior to completing the application. This will allow you to save your progress should you wish to exit the application prior to completion.

Applications close have been extended to June 10, 2022.
