WHY WE’RE PARTNERING WITH POW WOW PITCH

For the past two years, we’ve had the honour of participating in the PWP program and mentoring more than 30
talented entrepreneurs and semi-finalists. We feel aligned with Pow Wow Pitch’s mission of helping others
succeed. We hope that by continuing to strengthen our commitment to the Pow Wow Pitch Program, we can be of
service to entrepreneurs who can benefit from our unique expertise and support Pow Wow’s efforts to provide
platforms, programs, and resources to assist Indigenous entrepreneurs in growing thriving and sustainable
businesses.

HOW WE’RE PARTNERING

To support Pow Wow Pitch, our team will volunteer as mentors offering 1:1 virtual advisory support to the finalists
during the Bootcamp program. In addition, Pow Wow Pitch entrepreneurs will have access to our Learning Toolkit
which includes curated tools and templates to help Indigenous entrepreneurs plan and grow their businesses.
Finally, we will support Pow Wow Pitch when market research is needed to measure the impact on Indigenous
entrepreneurs who participated in the program.

OUR IMPERFECT PLAN

We recognize that we are responsible for the process of Truth & Reconciliation. We developed our Imperfect Plan
to help us identify what we can do as individuals and as a company to learn, understand and act in support of
Indigenous communities. We believe allyship begins with education which is why we’re learning from Indigenous
Community leaders and developing a program that supports meaningful change and long-term impact, including
partnering with Pow Wow Pitch to elevate the next generation of Indigenous entrepreneurs.
