TechTuesday PitchFest - Celebrating Women-Led Startups
Register for Event
In celebration of International Women’s Month 2026, TechTuesday, in partnership with Capital Angel Network, L-SPARK and SheBoot, is proud to present a high-energy PitchFest spotlighting four exceptional women-led startups.
Selected through a competitive national application process that drew numerous applicants from across Canada, these founders have earned their place on the TechTuesday stage. Each will pitch her game-changing solution to a distinguished panel of judges, and to our engaged TechTuesday audience.
Bringing deep industry experience and thoughtful perspectives, the judges will engage with each founder as they compete for $10,000 in prize money. With real capital and real momentum on the line, one company will walk away with the top prize, and a powerful boost into their next stage of growth.
We are extremely grateful to our event sponsors, Navio Law, numbercrunch, and TCC Canada, whose support made the PitchFest prize possible. These amazing local champions have, and continue to, demonstrate their commitment to advancing Women in tech.
Using Pitch Tank, a live startup competition platform, our TechTuesday attendees will be able to vote for their Fan Favourite.
We are proud to introduce our four finalists:
· Fora Fereydouni, CEO & Co-Founder – Cognitai
Clinical decision support to enhance continuity, precision, and personalization in mental healthcare
