Power of the Pitch returns to Toronto for women founders

The Power of the Pitch® will bring women founders, investors, bankers, media and corporate leaders together in Toronto on Oct. 26, 2026. The event is designed to help women entrepreneurs secure capital, visibility and strategic relationships that can speed business growth.

Why it matters: - Women founders still face major gaps in capital, strategic networks and national visibility. - The Toronto event is designed to put founders in direct contact with the investors and decision-makers who can open funding and partnership opportunities. - I Am Unbreakable® Global Media says the platform is meant to help close those gaps and accelerate long-term business growth.

What happened: - The Power of the Pitch® is returning to Toronto on Oct. 26, 2026. - The event will connect women founders with investors, financial institutions, media, corporate leaders and industry experts. - Founder applications are now open for women entrepreneurs with companies that show growth potential. - Investors, corporate leaders, ecosystem partners, entrepreneurs and supporters are invited to attend. - More information is available on the event page.

The details: - Selected founders will present their businesses before a panel that includes venture capital, angel investing, banking, corporate Canada, media and entrepreneurship leaders. - The 2026 judging panel includes senior leaders from venture capital, angel investing, financial institutions, corporate Canada, media and entrepreneurship. - Strategic partners include The Scotiabank Women Initiative®, Guardian Capital Advisors, Women Funding Women, Women Get On Board, RBC, BMO For Women, WeConnect International, WBE Canada and StrikeUp Canada. - Additional judges and strategic partners will be announced in the coming months. - Participants will also get national visibility through I Am Unbreakable® Global Media’s ecosystem, including I Am Unbreakable® Magazine, the I Am Unbreakable® Podcast, The Power of I Am® Summit, I AM U X®, I AM U X® NextGen and the Front-Row Sister® community. - Founder applications will be reviewed through a selective process focused on readiness to scale, attract investment and build strategic relationships.

Between the lines: - The event is built around a simple thesis: access matters as much as the pitch itself. - By combining pitching, media exposure and relationship-building in one room, the platform tries to shorten the path from introduction to investment or partnership. - The lineup of banks, venture leaders and women’s business organizations signals an effort to position the event as a national deal-making venue, not just a showcase.

What’s next: - More judges and strategic partners will be announced in the coming months. - Organizers will continue reviewing founder applications ahead of the October 2026 event. - The event is expected to bring together people looking for new investments, partnerships and growth opportunities.
