which supports survivors by removing coercive debt from their names
and records.
- Fintech Cadence is a female led fintech incubator
focused on helping early-stage founders of fintech companies
designing real solutions to the most pressing financial challenges
Canadians face today. Their flagship program, Fintech Hub (begun in

founders as they develop dynamic products and services for
Canadians. Through the TD Ready Commitment, Fintech Cadence will
receive $375,000 beginning in
