Meet Cynthia Ene, #Nobellum Innovator & $200,000 Women Elevate Grand Prize Winner! Cynthia founded Nunafab Corp in Nunavut, revolutionizing construction and manufacturing with eco-friendly bio-polyol. Alongside co-founder Solomon Amuno, they're making a lasting impact. After relocating to Toronto, Cynthia's momentum continued. At the #BIS Summit, she impressed Danielle, co-founder of The Firehood Angels, and secured first place. This win propelled her into the Women Elevate program, where six months of intense skill-building led to the grand prize. What's remarkable is that Nobellum's Innovator Program was the only #accelerator Cynthia ever participated in – and it provided everything she needed to succeed in the Women pitches. We proudly celebrate Cynthia's remarkable achievement and thank our coaches @kim, @laura, and @taiwo for their invaluable support. Join us in congratulating Cynthia!

🌍 What a whirlwind. 💡 From hosting an event at Climate Group #ClimateWeekNYC to flying back to Toronto for the Black Women Talk Tech pitch competition at #RoadmaptoBillions and attending Elevate, the end of September was flooded with new connections, pitches, prototypes and progress. I am grateful to this entrepreneurial ecosystem and the very REAL conversations I had with founders, funders, and supporters over the last week, especially the opportunities brought forward by Nobellum and Pitch Better 🙌 To anyone who needs a reminder, here are some things that I heard this week that stuck: 🦾 "Don't give up" - Kirk Johnson 🌊 "Forget the fear, do it anyway" - Regina Gwynn 🐢 "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast" - Ashly Knox These words remind me that progress isn’t always linear, and sometimes the most important thing we can do is to keep showing up, taking the next step, and trusting the process. We’re all in this together—building, creating, and pushing boundaries one conversation at a time. 💡 #Entrepreneurship #KeepGoing #Gratitude #Community #innovation
