​BDC Seed Venture Fund x MT> Ventures - Founder Breakfast Series

​Join us for the fourth installment of our exclusive Awake and Innovate breakfast series as we host Sylvia Ng, founder and CEO of ReturnBear.

​Sylvia Ng is the founder and CEO of ReturnBear, Canada’s first nationwide returns drop-off network, now expanding globally to offer direct-to-consumer brands Amazon-style instant refunds. With over 18 years in tech, including leadership roles at Shopify, Google, and eBay, Sylvia is on a mission to not only cut return costs but also reduce emissions—helping brands slash both by over 40%.

​Sylvia has been recognized with multiple accolades, including being named one of Canada’s Inspiring 50 Women in STEM, WeWorkingWomen’s CEO of the Year, and DMZ’s Women of The Year. A cancer survivor and mom of two, Sylvia also launched Amidira, a brand supporting cancer patients and caregivers. She’s a passionate advocate for women in tech, a frequent speaker, and a champion of innovation that drives both growth and sustainability.

​Awake and Innovate is hosted in collaboration with the BDC Seed Venture Fund and MT>Ventures. For every breakfast, we hand pick founder to engage in an open discussion with respect to their founder journeys, including their successes, challenges and failure.

​Note: This is an exclusive event with limited capacity - registration must be approved to join.
