The Women in Food Rise Up Fund is a 3-year startup growth fund designed to provide help women-led enterprises.
Food Starter, a Canada-based startup food incubator and accelerator, and Fiera Foods, a Canada-based food manufacturer, launched The Women in Food Rise Up Fund, a 3-year startup growth fund designed to provide Food Starter's women-led enterprises with a $5,000 grant to start and scale food businesses.
“We see day in and day out through our interactions with partners, employees and clients that women can lead and excel in our industry," says Boris Serebryany, president and CEO of Fiera Foods Co.
