Womens Equity Lab’s (WEL) is a fun, collaborative and empowering way for women to actively engage in early-stage investing. Launched in 2017, we now make up a diverse and powerful network of 400+ women investors, with syndicates located in Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Manitoba, the Atlantic and Silicon Valley. Actively engaging women in the angel investment process translates into more women as advisors, board members, venture capitalists, angel investors and angel fund managers. In the WEL model, partners in the investment round meet regularly to learn how to invest in companies, discuss opportunities, vet deal flow and make investment decisions. Every participant ends up with a deeper understanding of the angel investment process, a portfolio of early-stage companies and a great network of accomplished women. Other benefits include: • Engaging with incredible entrepreneurs and investors • Building value for the community and society • Supporting companies that resonate with you and helping them grow • Participating in new fields, transforming industries and the latest innovations • Potentially making significant financial gains • Continuous learning while building value

Prep Academy Tutors is the at-home tutoring company that works around your schedule to teach your child, so you can start looking forward to those parent-teacher meetings.. Why Prep Academy Tutors? There are lots of choices out there when it comes to the world of tutoring. But how do you know if a certain tutoring service (ahem...Prep Academy) is right for the student in your family? Our tutors are specialized in different subjects and different age groups from age four to twenty. So no matter the age or field of study, youʼll be getting the perfect tutor for your needs. Speaking of communication, we keep weekly contact with our studentʼs parents so youʼre always up to speed with the progress made. Life is busy for you and your child, and we get that. So even if you canʼt be there, you will still be informed of the progress and results. We Are..... Professional. We only hire teachers, so you can be sure that our tutors have proper experience and qualifications to make sure the student in your family succeeds.. Flexible. Our tutors go to where you are, and at the times that you decide, so that tutoring fits into you and your childʼs schedule, not the other way around. Personal. We would never send an email when a phone call would work, and we wouldnʼt make a phone call instead of meeting face-to-face. We believe that communication and feedback is an important part of getting results.
