<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There are going to be really hard days when you&#8217;re starting out, but you have to keep going,” shared<strong> 2nd Place Winner Sky Jerome</strong>. “Having a strong support system has made me never want to give up.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Don’t be afraid to take the leap. The biggest hurdle I’ve faced has been letting go of the security of a steady job to build my own business.

As a long-standing supporter of Indigenous entrepreneurship, EDC returns as a Friend Partner for the 2026 Pow Wow Pitch program.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Pow Wow Pitch enters its 11th season, this continued collaboration reflects a shared commitment to creating more opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurs to strengthen their businesses, access mentorship, and explore pathways into international markets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through EDC’s support, Pow Wow Pitch will continue to expand its virtual programming, deliver in-person experiences in communities across Turtle Island, and provide Indigenous entrepreneurs with tools and resources to help grow their businesses with confidence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">EDC team members will once again participate as judges for the Pow Wow Pitch Indigenous Business Pitch Competition and support entrepreneurs through mentorship and knowledge-sharing opportunities throughout the season. EDC will also continue presenting the Export Award as part of the Indigenous Entrepreneur Awards, recognizing an Indigenous entrepreneur demonstrating strong potential for growth beyond local markets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Anthony Wingham, Co Founder of Nuez Acres® and a semi finalist in the 2021 Pow Wow Pitch competition,</strong> credits the experience with helping shape the company’s growth and export journey: “Pow Wow Pitch gave us more than a platform to share Nuez Acres®. It helped connect us to a community of Indigenous entrepreneurs, mentors, and partners who understood both the opportunity and the challenges of building a business. Through that journey, connections with organizations like EDC helped us think bigger about export, growth, and what was possible beyond our local market. It is exciting to see this partnership continue so more Indigenous entrepreneurs can access mentorship, relationships, and support as they grow their businesses.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Donna St. Louis, National Lead, Indigenous Business, Inclusive Trade at EDC</strong>, shared the importance of continuing the partnership: “Indigenous entrepreneurs are building innovative businesses that are creating new opportunities within their communities and beyond.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.powwowpitch.org/">Pow Wow Pitch</a> is pleased to announce the continued growth of its partnership with <a href="https://www.powwowpitch.org/aritzia-grants/">Aritzia</a> for the 2026 Pow Wow Pitch program, extending support for Indigenous women and two-spirit entrepreneurs. Now entering its fifth year, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing opportunities for Indigenous founders through funding, visibility, and mentorship. What began as targeted support for fashion entrepreneurs has grown into a broader commitment that recognizes leadership and business growth across sectors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since 2022, Aritzia has supported the Fashion category in the Pow Wow Pitch Semi-Finals, as well as the Aritzia Indigenous Fashion Grants, providing funding to emerging designers. Building on this foundation and Aritzia’s belief in empowerment, the Aritzia Indigenous Grant will once again be awarded to eligible self-identifying Indigenous women and two-spirit entrepreneurs advancing to the 2026 Grand Finale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This continued expansion reflects a long-term investment in Indigenous entrepreneurs who are building businesses rooted in creativity, culture, and community. By extending support beyond fashion, the partnership acknowledges the breadth of innovation taking place across Turtle Island and ensures more founders have access to resources at a critical stage of growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, Pow Wow Pitch and Aritzia are strengthening pathways for Indigenous women and two-spirit entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, reach new audiences, and build sustainable ventures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our work with Pow Wow Pitch reflects Aritzia’s commitment to elevating the lives of women and girls,” said <strong>Corinne Kepper, Vice President of Corporate Giving at Aritzia</strong>. “By extending the Aritzia Entrepreneur Grant across all categories, we’re supporting Indigenous women and two-spirit entrepreneurs at a pivotal stage in their journey. It’s about ensuring more founders have access to both funding and support as they move their businesses forward.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This partnership continues to uplift and celebrate Indigenous women and two-spirit entrepreneurs,” said <strong>Naomi Sarazin, Executive Director of Pow Wow Pitch</strong>. “With Aritzia’s support, more founders are being recognized for the brilliance of their businesses. Together, we are creating space for Indigenous entrepreneurs to thrive, share their stories, and grow in ways that honour who they are and where they come from across Turtle Island.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through this partnership, Aritzia and Pow Wow Pitch continue to expand a national network of support for Indigenous entrepreneurship, grounded in collaboration and long-term commitment.</p>
