FrontFundr x The51
The51 and FrontFundr, a Canadian online private market investment platform, have collaborated on a pilot program that's powering investment in three promising women-led startups. This collaboration is designed to address the barriers women traditionally face in accessing early-stage capital, and to create a more accessible and inclusive investment ecosystem for entrepreneurs and investors alike.
The first cohort of companies featured in the deal room, include:
Geenees Giving: a social gifting platform for families in need that creates impact, connection, trust, and community. The platform facilitates gifts and donations, attracts new types of donors to nonprofit organizations, eliminates unnecessary volunteer hours, and delivers to families directly and anonymously.
Joni: a direct-to-consumer brand creating sustainable, biodegradable pads made with organic bamboo, while also offering a unique 1-for-1 model that allows customers to donate pads to Canadians in need.
Paws En Route: a pet transportation company that uses technology and a soft human touch to transport pets in a safe, friendly and fun environment. The company provides a pet air travel service as well as local and long-haul ground transportation with pet-experienced and pet-loving drivers. Their mission is transportation for any pet, any time, any place.
