In Canada, women-identifying and non-binary entrepreneurs own 31% of businesses but receive only 3-4% of venture capital investment dollars.

Research shows that the language investors use when talking to women entrepreneurs about their businesses is at least partly responsible for this disparity.

In response to the striking gender gap in access to capital, the Canadian Women's Chamber of Commerce (CanWCC) developed an educational program that teaches an applied communication strategy to mitigate the inherent bias women experience.

To perfect this applied skill, the program includes AI-enabled software to challenge entrepreneurs until their responses to bias-infused questions become second nature.

A grant from the Government of Canada's Women's Entrepreneurship Strategy made the development of the Flip the Script program possible.
