The “F” Factor: Fueling Founders was a half-day event celebrating women founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs during International Women’s Month. Hosted by Invest Ottawa’s Venture Path, this morning gathering brought together business owners and ecosystem partners for honest conversation, shared learning, and meaningful connection.
Attendees heard from inspiring voices, including a keynote fireside chat with Tara Akhavan, a global tech leader and founder, who shared insights on scaling innovation and building impact. The program also featured a panel on the future of talent and work with senior HR leaders, interactive Q and A sessions, and dedicated time for networking over a catered breakfast. Whether participants were launching a first venture or scaling an established business, the event offered practical perspectives, community connection, and inspiration to move forward with confidence.
