HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors\, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success. \nThe submission deadline for the 2021 Banff HerStory Competition has been extended to Friday\, August 13\, 2021 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time. \nAPPLY NOW \nApplications for Inventures Startup Pitch are now closed.
