Meet Aymie Rondeau - She raised over $9,000 for her business, The Curvy Shop, during last year’s Build Her Business campaign.

Do you have a great business idea that you would like to test or bring to market? Have you launched a business that’s already up and running but needs more exposure? If you answered yes to any of these questions, now is the time to come learn about Build Her Business, a unique ATB crowdfunding initiative for Alberta women entrepreneurs.

ATB’s Build Her Business is a rewards-based crowdfunding initiative through ATB BoostR that makes it possible for Alberta-based businesses to test ideas and products, promote their company, and raise money in exchange for a reward such as a product, service, or unique experience from their business.

Build Her Business is a crowdfunding campaign created to give Albertan women - just like you - the opportunity to raise funds for their businesses, build community and receive mentorship.

Statistics show that crowdfunding is a credible financing source where women outperform men. According to PwC Consulting, compared to men, women are 32% more successful in reaching their target and tend to pull in a higher average pledge amount. It’s time to get out there and own it—that’s why we created Build Her Business for women like you.
