Hanna Chisholm
CEO/Founder, Eggcitables
Wallace Family Internship (2017)
With a passion for food, sustainability and entrepreneurship Hannah Chisholm created and launched Eggcitables. Eggcitables’ flagship product is a chickpea alternative to eggs. All products are vegan, free from top allergens, sold in partnership with social enterprises and are packaged in compostable material!
During her time at StFX, her professors allowed her to use her business idea for class projects. That support led her launching her company. In 2019 only 11% of seed financing went to female led companies and only 2.3% of female led startups received venture capital in 2020.
Hannah now helps other young female entrepreneurs through a program she launched called Girls Mean Business; a summer program which helps young female entrepreneurs conceptualize and launch small businesses in Antigonish.
Her advice to young leaders:
“Envision your ideal life – ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing? Who do I want to surround myself with? What kind of impact do I want to achieve in this world? Picture it, write it down, and think about it often. Success” is how you define it to be.”
