“I’ve always been confident that being an entrepreneur was what I wanted to do and the E-Series confirmed that decision. I feel more supported by the community of women I met, not only participants, but the presenters as well. There were many good lessons, tips and experiences shared that provided insights for me on how I run my own business and enhancements I can make.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I take E-Series?
E-Series provides an all-encompassing education in business and entrepreneurship. It offers a deep dive into the skills you’ll need to take your business to the next level, and covers the breadth of topics you need to build a resilient business - from mindset, goal setting, marketing, sales, systems, team building, raising capital, money management, operations and more.
You’ll be taught by a faculty of seasoned professionals and entrepreneurs through live sessions, pre-recorded videos, Q&As, and have an option to register for 12 months of 1:1 mentorship upon completion, so you can take what you learn and action it.
You’ll also be connected to an activated community of people that will inspire you, create with you, and endlessly support you, which is a good enough reason all on its own.
Who is eligible for E-Series?
This program is designed for both early- and intermediate-stage businesses. You are eligible to register if you are a self-identifying woman, non-binary, or trans-femme majority or equal stakeholder, (co-)founder, or (co-)owner actively leading a business operating in Canada; or an employee in line to lead the business who is currently a key decision maker.
This includes a woman manager or staff member who is a key decision maker in an Indigenous band- or community-owned business.
You must also be a legal resident of Canada.
Have questions about your eligibility? Email astern@theforum.ca for support.
Have an early idea for a business and looking for a space to connect with other entrepreneurs? While those still in the planning stages are not eligible for E-Series, we recommend our Weekly Connects as a great starting point for formulating your ideas.
How is E-Series different?
E-Series is much more than a program. It’s a community.
Over the three-week program and beyond, set yourself up for success through workshops and goal-focussed support from industry professional and seasoned entrepreneurs who will provide insights and strategies to grow your business.
You also have an option to add 12 months of 1:1 support from a Mentor who can offer advice and guidance around challenges specific to your business.
And again, there’s the community. We really can’t emphasize this point enough because the connections you’ll make with other entrepreneurs, our team, and our supporters will create so many new possibilities for your future.
We believe any self-identifying woman, trans-femme and non-binary entrepreneurs who are building a business in Canada will benefit from this opportunity.
What is the time commitment and when does E-Series start?
The next E-Series is scheduled for Spring 2025. Join the waitlist to hear when registrations open up.
How much does E-Series cost?
We are so grateful to the generosity of our program sponsors so program fees are offered on a sliding scale - you choose the price point that works best for you.
We recognize that systemic marginalization means that wealth has not been equitably distributed or accessible in the same way for everyone. Whatever amount you’re able to invest, we are here for you, and we want to see you thrive!
We ask you to consider your personal finances and pay what you can between $0-$849.
The full value of E-Series is $1500.
What if I miss a live session?
Don’t sweat it! We record every session so you can replay them anytime you want, as many times as you want up to a year after the program.
How do I sign up?
How is E-Series delivered?
Everything is done virtually, so you can participate wholeheartedly no matter where you are. The live speakers, and resources are all digital and will be organized thoughtfully within your own dedicated online portal.
What are the technical requirements?
To participate, you’ll need access to a computer with stable internet access. Having a video camera provides you with the option of sharing your live image when in sessions.
